    Aunt Gloria,
    I think about you often. I stopped by to talk to you after leaving the farm the other night. You were one of my favorite people….and I miss you.

    Where do you begin with Gloria Ball! So pleasant! So smart! So faithful! She was someone that you looked forward to seeing. Her and Bart made beautiful children who grew up to make a difference in other people’s lives! By the grace of God, we can meet again! It really hurt to hear that she was gone, and so suddenly, but Jesus Christ took the sting out of death for all those who believe and love Him! God bless the Balls!
