Bonnie & Family:
We were so shocked to hear of Gloria's passing. Being her only living brother I am moved deeply. I know that you too feel the great loss of a loved one such as Gloria. I have heart moving memories of us growing up and as adults. Sherry and I grieve with you and for you as we both go through this time of loss. But remember, tears shed in grief for another are like diamonds showered upon the memory of the one we loved. May the good times with her be the strength that carries us through.
Her Brother,
Butch
