Gloria was like a mom to me for a very special time in my life. She will be remembered. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen and at the table trying to learn to sew and do homework. She always made me fill at home in her house. My thoughts are with James, Michael, and Michelle.

Although I met Mr. and Mrs. Walthall only a few times, the love they had for one another was very evident to me. Gloria was a sweet lady with a heart of gold and strong faith in the Lord as well as faith there is a life beyond this world. I believe she is in the arms of God now, in a place where there is no more pain.
My heart goes out to her family. May the peace of our heavenly father surround the family. With loving thoughts of you all, Tammy Glover.
