Images ...

 Because Tanis said I should surround myself with pictures of Gloria ...

The smile.

She always loved to laugh.

She loved pink.

She loved singing, but, even more she loved her family.

Of course, singing with the family was even better.

When she sang, she gave the most wonderful explanations of the songs.

With her Mum.

At BLTS.

With a new grandbaby.

And again.

And again.

Of course, they got bigger.  (And he continued to grow.  I inherited those shoes, when he grew out of them ...)

Great women raise great women who raise great women.

(Gloria loved the place God chose for her at Draycott.)

She used her home, when when K&L were at that age, as a centre for the community.

Gloria would maintain friendships over decades.

(Just so you know, she was sight-reading that piece, and had never heard it before.)

She could even laugh about chemo.

Laughing ...

Gloria really loved the little Android logo guy.  (No, I have no idea why ...)

Gloria loved to laugh at whatever was funny.  And, fortunately, she was intelligent enough to have a wide-ranging sense of humour ...

As evidenced by ...

Gloria's new hairdo (with Number One Grandaughter's help) during chemo.

Gloria wouldn't really let me take pictures of her, without the kids or some activity, so this must have been a Christmas present that she was trying on.

Gloria decorated the most wonderful Christmas tree.

She collected thimbles, and I was able to contribute a number from around the world in my teaching travels.

(Thank you to Linda for her contributions.)  (Among other things ...)
