Gleycine, my dearest friend and confidante, It's difficult to find the right words to express my grief in knowing that we won't be together again. We've shared so many wonderful memories. You were "always there" for us, offering advice in hard times, and an optimistic outlook on life in general. I treasure the hours we spent together, the many good times filled with laughter. We offered each other encouragement during the difficult times. Life was not always easy but you faced each challenge with courage. You spoke of your family with love and devotion. We'll all miss you, Gley, but we're better persons for knowing you. I think of you daily and offer prayers, knowing you are at peace with your beloved Reggie.

Gley was an amazing woman who will be so deeply missed by all who knew her. She was the best Mom and Grammy that anyone could have. Her strength and perseverance never ceased to amaze me. She had the most positive outlook no matter what life through at her. I will miss her beyond words!!!
