Megan Oaks

As the first of Gloria's beloved grandchildren, it has been an honor to call her our Nana. Strength, beauty, wisdom, kindness, grace, and faithfulness are a small portion of her legacy. She honored family, loved to sing and dance, write and paint and tell stories from her childhood. Just as her own grandmother was her life, she was a shining light in ours. Always pointing us toward Jesus, salvation, the power of prayer and the freedom we have in worshiping our King. It brings me great joy picturing her in awe of the splendor of that Savior she dedicated her life to serving. May we all take hope in a reunion with her when the time comes. Rejoice in Paradise my precious Nan! You will be missed.

We are so saddened by the loss of Gloria. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. While we are saddened, we are also so happy to know that we all have been given the choice to be in her presence again where she is having no more pain or suffering and is living in her new perfect body with Jesus. That will be such a wonderful time for all of us! We hope you will feel free to call on us if you ever need anything. We love all of you.

So sorry for the passing of my cousin that I loved so dearly, but I know that she is with the rest of the family that has gone on and was waiting in heaven for her. Also she is suffering no more and is waiting for the rest of us to join her someday. May she be well remembered and loved by all she knew.
