Gloria was a wonderful woman. Always kind and always smiling. I enjoyed visiting with her at our meetings for Elim. She set a great example for all of us; always interested in how others were doing. And always making light of any discomfort she was having. She was a true southern lady. May she rest in peace and spread joy in heaven.
So very sorry for the loss of your love one, Mrs. Gloria Keyser. May your treasured memories continue to provide a measure of comfort and peace during this difficult time. Rest assured that the God of all comfort will strengthen and sustain the family.
