I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Even though I did not know Gloria peronally, I do know what a close knit family you all are. I always went to school with Eric Aguiniga and have known the Cole family for many, many years. Take comfort in knowing she is in a better place and the Lord is taking care of her. May God be with you all during this difficult time. Gloria and your entire family are in my prayers.
God Bless all of you,
The Edwards

Your family is in my prayers. I remeber when your family used to live down the street from my familys house. My dad always had me take stuff up to your house like taco shells and stuff like that. I always loved doing that cause Gloria would be there to give us all hugs and stuff like that. But always remeber your family will be in our prayers and we all will miss those good meals she would make.
your in our prayers

It may have been years since I saw Gloria,
but wherever I'd run into her, she'd remember me.
Never met someone so positive about life and
loving towards her family and friends. Her smile
and happy thoughts will always be remembered. She
will be missed by everyone.

My dear cousins and family - I am so sorry to hear this news it saddens me so and I want you to know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. My dear cousin is with God now and in heaven with all of our family members who have passed on before us. Find comfort knowing she is with them all and will have everlasting life. I will pray for you to have peace and strength - as we don't understand this sudden loss. Find comfort in all of your great memories with Gloria. I can always remember whenever "us girls" came to town she always came up to us with a big hug and a big smile and always a warm welcome. I always knew that was Gloria because of her long beautiful hair. Just hold on to your memories and know that I love you all. God Bless you. Love, Your Cousin in Chicago/Indiana Joanie & Ed.
