Her Journeys Just Begun.... 
Don't think of Her as gone away, her journey's just begun. Life holds so many faces, this earth is only one. 
Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and no years. 
Think how she must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. 
And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched. For nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much... 

Rest In Paradise Auntie Gloria for you will never be forgotten.... 

Love Eternally,
Dejon

Dear Grandma, this is not a goodbye it’s a see you later. We all love you all so very much and that will never change. You gave us all a gift to cherish and you mean everything to this family. Love your grandson Jamar and Great Grandson Ramaj Forever in our hearts 🕊💙

Ever since the beginning we grow apart, like non intentional just time of start. We start to hope to stop the time, to shake the pain of left behind. But left behind can give a story , through faith alone we grasp the glory. So , Apart from time the test begins that left behind it never ends. Through friends I’m told we just get old , Through God it’s Faith on where we go . Yes I know ! 
But still it’s hard to see you go, clock intends to keep it slow . For 1 I know it’s being weak the eyes perceive you being sleep , for 2 we talked on many occasions that talk can lead to accusations. ….. God is here and in control … for we continue after death ..  as the first story told ! Behold! .. Gods Promise ! 🤞🏾🙏🏾
- Grandmas boy #2 . I Love You & miss you so much! 🖤

Man, I just want to say thank you. From day one you’ve treated me like family. You loved my kids and showed them the lord. You helped save me from the devils work & brought god back into my life. You are my angel grandma & I will think of you every day . So blessed to have been in your presence. & you will always love on . Noah misses you . Shows your picture everyday. & don’t worry I remember our conversation. “Faith lives on & if you want something go and get it . Cause time ain’t waiting on nobody honey” I love you lady <3

Gloria Jean Alford! There’s no words big enough to explain my love mama. I’ve had you my whole life now I don’t . I say that to say this I’ve never felt a “Lack” love , empathy, compassion, loving arm , life’s guidance and spiritual guidance you provided the stability I needed . I will move forward listening to your words of wisdom whisper in my ear . Thank you for being the best mother you knew how to be I will forever be grateful for you . I will miss you more than I can even comprehend. Until we meet in your words     “ The Beautiful Green Place “ I love you Mama 💕 CECILEY 

Broken Chain, 
We little knew that morning
that God was going
to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly.
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,!
you did not go alone
for part of us went with you
the day God called you home
You left us peaceful memories
your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same;
but as God calls us one by one
the chain will link again. 
Forever in my heart, love you Auntie


Auntie Gloria , I can’t even imagine holidays without you ! Your Beautiful Soul will light up the room so much .. I Love you and I Miss You So Much the conversations we had will forever be in my mind ! Thank You for being such a comforting person !

My dear Gloria! Over 50 years of love, laughter, heartaches and friendship! She was family! Through it all, she was always smiling, always positive! Her Faith was strong! She could out dance anybody any time! I'll miss her "hi sweetie" our morning texts and listening to her talk about any and everything! She truly had a way with words and a way to touch your heart and was always there for me! Always the "big sis" never thinking of herself,  just wanting her family to be ok! She loved you all so much, especially her children and grands!  Sisters for life! Until we meet again! Love Robin - Rev 21:3,4
