It's been over 9 months now. Time is flying by. It doesn't seem like 9 months. It seems like a few weeks. The pain is still there but the acceptance of your loss is complete. Throughout our friendship I would go many months without seeing you due to the distance between Fayetteville and Mountain Home but every single time I went to Mountain Home I would see you. Sometimes you'd still be at work and I'd wait at your house until I heard the backdoor open and you came walking through the kitchen. The night would turn into dinner, movies and eventually a midnight walmart run for something we didn't really need but had to have. Those were the good times. Those were the fun times. I never thought those days would be numbered. I never thought, of all the people to die young, it would be you. The though never crossed my mind but it happened. Before Christmas I was still very much in denial. I remember I'd think that everything I had seen in May was just a bad dream and that you were over in Mountain Home living your life. I'd just have to come over and see you is all. Living in a semistate of denial gave me comfort. It allowed me to keep you alive in my world (here in Fayetteville). When I came to Moutnain Home on Christmas and I arrived at your house. You never came out to greet me, you never arrived home from work, you never text or called me. I walked into the door and looked around. You weren't anywhere in the front room. I went to your bedroom and opened the door. Your smell still saturates that room. It brought me relief and made me feel good. However you were nowhere to be found. Much of your room was just as you had left it. All of your pictures, all of your books, your cute pink feather pen up on your dresser were exactly as you had left it. My mind knew you were gone but my heart thought you were still there. You were there in spirit I know, I could feel you so so strongly. Christmas night I slept on your bed. I'd slept on your bed many times right beside you. I felt your spiritual presence right beside me but your physical body wasn't. After sleeping a 6 hour sleep, I woke up. Something inside of me had changed forever. For some reason your passing suddenly became real. Both my heart and my mind were in agreement for the first time in many months. It was like the veil of denial had been lifted from my face. I remember crying in your room, sobbing a deep sob, trying not to wake your sister who was in the other room. After I cried a peace came over me. When I left Mountain Home that day after Christmas headed back to Fayetteville, I returned with a new acceptance. I knew that you were gone forever. No more denial. I came home and the peace I gained in your room that Christmas night, helped me to finally digest your death and it started to process of moving on with my life. Ultimate healing will never come. I'll always miss you, I'll always love you, I'll always wonder why you passed away so young. Such a sweet kind person should have lived to be 90 or above. You left us too soon. You left an indelible mark on me for the rest of my life. You were my first best friend. You were the closest person to me that has ever died. Your spirit of compassion, caring and pragmatism will be with me forever. I love you Gloria. I miss you Gloria.

I'm so sorry to hear about Gloria. I am a teacher, and I believe I had her in my Kindergarten class many years ago. She was such a sweet little girl... I am praying for her close friends and family.

I only met Gloria a time or two but knowing she was a friend of Ramey's she had to be a genuinely good person. For such a young lady to pass is heart breaking but we all have peace knowing she has no pain and rests in Gods arms.
