To my friend Gloria and family,
I find it so hard to believe that you are gone. You are my trusted friend. I think of the many years we have gone to the bank and sit most of the night counting bowling money. Memories bring great comfort at a time like this but there are times when grief takes over for a while. Rest in peace my friend.

I continuously find myself intensely reliving the last days we spent together. My heart ache so much my sister, so much, so much, so much.

To the Rylander, Perkins, and Dillion's Families.
My prayers and thoughts are with you in the loss of Gloria. I met Gloria through bowling and she gave the gift of laughter and I am sure dried her share of tears. She left her mark on many lucky lives through the years. In the memories she left, her spirit will shine bright. I know she will be remembered always.

To the Rylander family, I met Ms. Gloria and her husband Cornel many years ago. We bowled against each other for many years until recently when Cornel came to me and asked for my help so Ms. Gloria would't have to bowl each week. I did it because it was her. We spent many Superbowl parties at my house. Now the real party begins. I luv u Ms. Gloria rest baby in peace.

Bren, you and your family are always in my prayers. I know this is not the ideal time to go through this situation as I encountered the same last year with my grandmother at Thanksgiving and then my Step Father at Christmas so I truly understand your situation right now. One thing we can be sure of is that God is our Keeper, Comforter, and Refuge in a time of remorse and grief.

No one else can do it and nothing else will heal the hear except the love and comfort of our Jehovah Rahpa!!! I pray that His understand transcends throughout your family where everyone knows that His perfect timing and will shall be done for His purpose alone! As a Christian, we believe, obey, and understand the transition to glory and being with our Master but as Man in the flesh its hard.

Happy New Year in Heaven, Gloria. It doesn't seem like thirteen years have passed but they have and there is NEVER a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Wow, you are truly missed beyond measure and I'm certain you know that. I'm not sure who stated, "time heals all wounds" . . . but it certainly hasn't for me and it almost feels like yesterday. I love you yesterday, today and forever! Bren

My dearest sister . . . it's been nine long and challenging years and I miss you so much! Christmas and holidays have never been the same. Although I created this memorial site, it's still hard for me to visit and leave messages . . . I would have thought that it would become easier as the years come and go but it has become more difficult. I miss you so tremendously but I know that we will meet again. Love ya sis . . . RIP Gloria!

Our Life Our Love

Hello My Love; I am so thankful that Our Lord chose you to be my wife and for me to be your husband. We talked about this early in our marriage. And we knew this was done before we was born. Our togetherness came from heaven, and I can't thank God enough. We serve an awesome God, Amen. What came with the marriage is all of your family, and all of my family. I'll always love Neal and Dilcia Perkins, and all your sisters and brothers. As you loved mama and mother, and all of your sister and brother in laws to the end, and even in heaven. Baby Love you are not with me physically, but you'll always be with me in the spirit of the Lord. Not one day pass without you on my mind and in my heart. I'm crying right now sweetheart, but I'm going to be okay. I love you so much, and you're loving me. that I know. God has blessed us with two wonderful children. I remember as they was becoming young adults, we told them we want grandkids. Well Heleva answered with three girls and Jamal with three boys and one girl. Hey they came through by the grace of God. Jamal and Heleva resemble you Gee in so many ways, and I am so thankful to call them my children. Baby the grand children are growing so fast, and all seven are beautiful. They keep me going. Kiauna is in her second year in the army, and now she's working at StarBucks. The other six are growing like trees, and getting tall, expecially Jaedon and Ebony. All of them are doing good in school, and I know the parents is pleased with that. Sugar pudding, next month will be eleven years for me working at Crane World Wide. I recall in 2008 when I informed you that this will be the last company I'll work for. God gets the glory, for it is the Lord that's ordering my steps. I will be lost without Him, amen. Not only at the work place but my entire life since I've been on this earth. I'm planning to resign at the end of next year. It's time for me to relax some and enjoy the time I have remaining Gee. I'll draw my social security and get Amazing Plants and Silk Trees going again. You know that's somthing I enjoy doing. I thank God for the love He has given me, and I love so many. Our family is large and I love them all. That includes nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncle, daughter in law, son in law, brother in law, sister in law, all of my sisters and brothers. Not only do I love them all, I pray for all of these and many more. Everyone needs prayer. The world is wicked, but we are Gods children and He will keep the danger away from us. For Our Lord Jesus is our protecter, The Way The Truth and The Light. amen Thank You Jesus. I miss you Gloria Yvonne Rylander, but I have to stay strong baby and continue to keep moving for the Lord as He gives me strength from day to day. Love Always and a Day Glo
