Gloria always made time for her children and loved the time spent with her grandchildren. Some of the child hood memories we have is how much she enjoyed snowmobiling and pulling us in a sled, playing a variety of games, loved camping, taking us swimming and spending time at or cousins cabin (David, Judy, Wendy, Tracey Brobston) we went on vacation every year to come down to Tennessee and visit her family, and to go to different attractions that her home state had to offer. She always tried to keep us connected with our distant family from the south which we will never forget. The family in the south always called her rooster. My sister and I never knew what that meant but we think we figured it out later in life that she ruled the roost! haha. She always liked to gab on the phone whenever I would try make a quick call to say high and see what was going on usually, ended up where my cellphone was hot to the touch and the battery was dead. she just wanted to be filled in on everything that was going on with her grandchildren and family members and i understand that now, and she will be missed.
