I will miss Aunt Gloria and seeing her smile. As a young girl, I remember going over to her house for the holiday and I couldn't wait to eat her food! She always remembered my birthday even if I forgot hers. She was courageous and she taught me, when I saw her in the last 5 years, how to not complain but live the best you can under any circumstances. Thank you for being part of my life.
