Our thoughts are with the family as you celebrate Gloria's life today.
Prayers for comfort as you gather to remember and honor her life.
Sending our love and sympathy.

To the Hampton Family,  Our hearts & prayers are with you. Gloria was such a Beautiful lady who deeply loved her Family. It was a blessing to share fun times with her & Don at Family gatherings. Often in our conversations she would share her love for God. May you be comforted knowing she is rejoicing in the Presence of the One who made her the lovely blessing she was to everyone that knew her.  Jim & Beverly Greer

My condolences to the family. I'll always remember Aunt Gloria's beauty both inside and out. Funny the things we remember as children that stick with us. She always wore the most beautiful nail polish in tandem with toes to match. I loved her and she will be missed greatly. Rest in perfect peace Aunt Gloria.

Hampton family
My heart crys for your loss, This is tough to write. I take comfort knowing she is with Dad. And Boomer too! I was lucky to have Gloria for my Mom, The day Dad introduced me to Gloria we hit it off right away, having some laughs and talking forever. That continued thru the years I felt so comfortable I could talk to Her about anything she always made me like "don't sweat the small stuff"..
Gloria was very proud of her family and extended family and I will miss her very much.
Mom please say hi to Dad for me!

From the very beginning Gloria welcomed me as one of her own.

A bright smile that would light up a room, a warm hug, some solid advice, UNconditional love, encouragement, a great laugh, love of salads and Shirley Temple and could make a fantastic pot o baked beans. 
Damn it, Mom. I'm going to miss those beans cause they were like one of your warm hugs.

 Those are just some of the things I remember & dig about Gloria. 

Gloria & Donnie. Hmmm
 Till a coupla years ago never saw one without the other. 
They're now both together again reunited with Boomers, Spanky and the rest of their wayward pack. 

For these past 30 years Gloria & Donnie were -no ARE my parents. Mom & Pop.
 I feel honored to be a part of their family and to have had Gloria (and Donnie) in my life. 
I miss our afternoon coffee chats sitting around the kitchen table or in front of the TV w/ Boomers in my lap. Would always brighten my day. For a little while, nothing else mattered.  

So Mom, 
 from those chats- I will take your advice & encouragement with me on what is left of my journey aboard this planet and try to make you and Pop proud...Just as proud as I am to call you Mom (and Donnie Dad)

I will take comfort that you're with Pop, you smell like Liz Taylor's Diamond, the two of you have an adult beverage in hand (pop also has Boomer under his other arm) and you're both dancing on the Good ship Lollipop.

My heart has another big hole in it. Miss you more than you'll ever know.
All my love,

Brian and Family,

My deepest sympathy to you all on your loss.  Prayers for you and your family.  May she rest in peace.

Thinking of you all, I pray for comfort at this time.

You will be missed and always remembered grandma. We love you and will see each other again.

I will always love and miss you grandma. There's so much that has happened in my life the past year that I never got to tell you before you left. I hope to see you again, and I hope you're with Grandpa Don now. I love you.

My mother-in-law was a beautiful, caring and loving person.  She was full of life and loved to laugh.  We use to talk for hours over the phone and in person.   I will miss her greatly.  Ashley, Brittany,  and Kailey will miss her also.  She taught me a lot of things.  She also helped me through tough times.  Thank you mom for everything.  Thank you for being a wonderful grandma to my girls.  I will never forget you.  I love you mom.  I miss you!

Aunt Gloria was always so kind to me as a child. I most will always remember her infectious laugh and her smile. My parents moved us away from her and her family at a young age but I will always remember our visits to her house. I know I will see her again and take comfort in knowing that she is in a better place and is no longer suffering.

Gloria we all miss you so much, but you accomplished so much in the short time you were with us.life was not always easy for you but what a beautiful gift to life you gave us (your family) rest in peace now and I will see you again soon.I love you SIS.my condolences to the whole family. 

Your loving brother Pete.

My aunt Gloria a wonderful lady that taught me to dress and beautify daily whether or not your going anywhere.  To feel good about yourself, laugh, love and its about family.  Such a beautiful lady and I truly mean BEAUTIFUL.  Love you auntie.

My aunt taught me how to dress to impress even when you had no place to go.  Feel great about yourself inside and out.  She always looked beautiful and had such a great laugh that was contagious.  Always a giving loving person that will live in my heart forever and has left and impression that allows me to share with my family and friends.  She will be missed but known as one more angel by the side of God in heaven and seen again some soon.

Gloria always treated me like I was one of her kids and was like a mother to me.    I will miss her everyday

  I remember my Aunt Gloria had the single best laugh, ever. She would laugh so hard she would always have to dab at her eyes, she would tear-up. I will remember her fondly and dancing in her kitchen to the song, "Gloria." 
  I would like to extend my condolences to her family and may they find strength in each other in days to come.

I will always remember Aunt Gloria as the kind hearted woman, who always greeted you with a warm smile and a hug. All the stories she had to share about the old days always brought me joy and laughter. An amazing woman received her wings. You will be missed dearly, but you will forever live within my heart. Love you forever and always.
