Always had a smile on her face. Never heard a harsh word in all the years I had the privilege of knowing her. She endured a lot of life challenges with grace and humility.
She was there in the time of need for others with a giving heart. No matter who you were, if you knew Gloria, Pete, Michael or Don, you were family to them!!! It's comforting to know that she is reunited with The Savior and her loved ones! What a homecoming that is happening now in heaven!!!
Thank you for being there for me and mine!
Until we meet again,
Connie
