Russell: Pls. accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I really liked Gloria. You and she were the type of people I liked to go places with--do whatever you liked and didn't have to feel like you were joined at the hip. Rebecca Reeves told me about her illness about a year ago. I was really shocked. I just can't picture her like that. Pls. tell Jodi and the boys my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sincerely, Jackie Lee

I miss spending time with her and watching her cook in the kitchen. She was a amazing cook. And made mouth watering gumbo. She always had a smile and a laugh you could never forget. I miss her kisses on the cheeks and her grabbing our ears when we were kids and her hugs and how she would say tight tight tight for every hug. I miss all of the holidays and family events spent and the moments i would just stop by to say hey or help out around the house. I loved sitting out in the garage and talking with her she had so many great stories. I will truly miss her so much. I know she will be watching down on us. I love you Grandma.
