She was indeed a great lady -- warm & loving, talented & fun and she was a classy gal but she got right in there and rolled up her sleeves when she was painting. We knew her time was near and we're all thankful her suffering is over.
God Bless Gloria! Our condolences go out to Gloria's children, Steve and the Estes clan. Steve said the kids were all at her side when she departed.

MY heartfelt condolences, we will sadly miss Gloria, I met her in Lincoln and was truly impacted by her warmness and knowledge. I'll always remember her by her flowers she painted on he field on the mural as the train was arriving...
that was before she knew she was ill and her love and talent just brightened up a picture of a train to bring the entire experience to life. She was just so very kind as well.
