Dear Bro. Higgins,
We never met your wife but it was an honor to meet you when came to Beavercreek, Ohio. We are so sorry about your loss. May the Lord give you peace that only He can give and give you grace through the days ahead. We can only imagine the crowns that she has waiting for her because of the work you did in Mexico! How many precious souls will meet her in heaven and say "Thank you for telling us about the Lord"! Only the Lord knows! You are in our prayers! God bless and keep you.

Brother Norman, We share your feeling of loss at the passing of your long-time partner and my Sister-In-Law, in our adventure though our earth-bound life time. We wish we all lived closer together, so we could have shared mutual "adventures", but we know that Gloria is now in a much more friendly and welcoming life.
Your brother, Alton

Dear Norm,
I will miss her sweet smile and big hug each time we met. God has used you both to bless so many with your service to Him. I know when she reached heaven God said Well done thy good and faithful servant"
You and the family will remain in our prayers.

Dear norm, what an honor it was to know Mrs. Gloria. The smile she carried when we there, the huge hug she gave my family the first time they met. A true example of what a woman of God is. If there ever anything I can help you with please let us know.

Dear Norm and family, Today My words are hard to find to truly say what my heart feels. Gloria was a one of a kind lady! Someone I will never forget! My prayers are with you as you say your goodbyes and then each day after as you continue on without her. But I know you know she is well again and so alive!!!! Seeing her one day again, will be so precious! I love you all and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Gloria Hendershot
