The last eleven and a half months have been the hardest period of my mom's long life.I am one of five kids who had the honor of calling Gloria
"Mom".
I can honestly say, she was one very classy lady who lived life with zest, to it's fullest!
She was a mom; a wife, a world traveler, an entrepreneur, a realtor, and she was a great friend to so many.
She honored this earth with her presence for 86 years, 11 months, and 4 days. We were all thankful for being part of her life.
After breaking her hip late Christmas Eve last year, her life changed dramatically. She was not able to be independent, and could not go back to her lovely Condo on the water of Lake Washington.
She never complained.
We are so thankful we were able to get her back to her home, surrounded by her family, friends, and memories... for the last two weeks of her life.
She passed away on Nov 6th, 2010.
"I Love You Mom...."
I'm so sorry.... my prayers to you & your whole family on such a loss...
