My heart goes out to you in prayer and sympathy with the loss of both parents in so short a time. But Gloria made it clear she did not want to live without your father. I am saddened that I had not recently seen her. But she knew how much I cared about her.I wish I had known her decades ago as we became quick friends and I know my life would have been even more richly blessed. Savor your memories. Her love lives on in you.
