A Great Lady

I have so many good memories about your mother that it would fill a book.  All of my memories are wonderful.  Gloria is a great lady and always has been.  She is one of the most kind and caring persons I know.  Interestingly enough, she reminds me of Grandma Amanda Bagley — that couldn't be genes because Amanda is Cory's grandmother, not Gloria's.  Nevertheless her kind, giving, serving, faithful nature, as though she is on automatic pilot, reminds me of Grandma Amanda.  She is a great example and touches every life she comes in contact with for good.  I can't even comprehend how she could possibly have ever had an enemy.

Family Memories

I remember going on trips with Grandma, we went to Yellowstone, and Bryce Canyon. It is so much fun going on big family camping trips because we make so many memories.
I also have good memories of the Christmas Eve parties and the programs that Grandma did. When I was little me and some of the other cousins helped Grandma tell the Nativity story and I always learned so much from her, I have always known that Grandma has a strong testimony. I also have many memories of Grandma and Grandpa coming to my birthday dinners and when they have supported me and came to my orchestra concerts. 
Happy 80th Birthday Grandma! Love you!

Friend to Family

 After meeting Darell and Corydon, during our high school years, I was often at their home and Gloria (Mom) many times invited me to eat dinner with the family. The meals were always great. A few years after that I become part of the family when Susan and I got married.
We have also been on several trips to Yellowstone, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks, Disneyland and few other places. These are great memories that will always be treasured!

Family Most Important

"I always remember Grandma taking a very special interest in my life and weird hobbies growing up and that meant a lot to me. Any sport, activity or recent obsession, she always knew what I was up to and made a sincere effort to understand what made me happy. I want to thank you grandma for making a large impression on my life, and showing me truly what it means to be happy, and how family is the most important, no matter what. Thank you!"

Love,

Grandma's Kindness

The quality that stands out for me the most about Grandma is her kindness. She is the nicest person I have ever known. I cannot ever remember her saying a single mean thing about another person. She is always cheerful and she loves her family. When we were kids, we loved visiting her and Grandpa because there was a never ending supply of adventures to be had at their home. Whether it was piling sticks together in the back yard to make a fort, playing in the red van or with the skis boots and hiking backpacks or getting into stuff in the storage room, there was always something to do. Behind closet doors, and inside cabinets and drawers we found all sorts of awesome things like big model airplanes, legos and plenty of items for making crafts. All the while, Grandma grinned and bared it. I'm sure that us grandkids were a handful but we never would have known because of the kindness and patience that Grandma treated us with. Happy 80th birthday Grandma. You are an inspiration to me. Love, Dustin
