Gloria

She was a woman who was good at doing what she was good at doing. I say that meaning she didn't waste time. She didn't waste time doing things she didn't care about or that she didn't have a knack for. She was good at singing, so she did it all the time. She was good at decorating so she made things beautiful every chance she got. She was good at knowing what people needed to hear, so she listened and thought and considered, then let you know what she thought.

She hated school, small talk, and Jack Nicholson.

One of many favorite Gloria stories:

She was at the library where I work, bemoaning the fact that she couldn't find any books to read that didn't have a lot of sex and cussing. A sweet lady over heard her and suggested she read Janette Oke.

Her response?

"No, not nearly enough sex or cussing!"

Love you Gloria! So glad you were in my life and I will remember you every time I put a shopping cart where it belongs or arrange my stuff in groups of three.
