She had an exceptional talent as a seamstress and monogrammer and she loved designing special cloths and room décor for her family and friends . Gloria‘s favorite time of year was Christmas and decorating for the holidays. She was never lost for finding a song to sing, and one of the songs she sang as time on earth was closing in was :
“When They Ring Those Golden Bells”
There’s a land beyond the river that we call the sweet forever
And we only reach that shore by faith, you see
Yes I want to see my Jesus
Shake His hand and have Him greet us
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
Don’t you hear the bells a-ringin’
Can’t you hear the angels singin’
It’s a glory hallelujah jubilee
In the far off great forever just beyond the shining river
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
When our days have known their number
When in death we sweetly slumber
When the Kingdom mends the spirit to be free
There’ll be no more stormy weather
We’ll live peacefully together
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
Don’t you hear the bells a-ringin’
Can’t you hear the angels singin’
It’s a glory hallelujah jubilee
In the far off great forever just beyond the shining river
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
Gloria has six wonderful grandchildren, and six great grandchildren whom she prayed for often. She was an inspiration to her whole family as she taught them to love others as she had loved them.
