Condolences to the McCauley family. Grams had a big impact in my life. She gave me a job at the Best Western, let me spend much of my teen years giggling with Michele, loaned me her car so I could get my driver's license, offered advice, bought us endless pizza, and just generally put up with one more teenager living at her house. Love you Michele! Hearts.

My prayers are with all the family members of Gloria McCauley as we just lost a beautiful mother,aunt, grandmother,and my friend. She has touch my life in ways to encourage me to be strong and face my shyness in my early years in high school. She was great in listening and giving wisdom. I do miss her laugh and smile. Now I will miss our long distance talks we had over the past two decades. I will carry these memories in heart forever. Love you Gloria!
