Gloria Kerr

As the days pass, we always strive to bring something uplifting to our lives. But with every good day, there will be those you wish never come. Today was one such day in our life that I will ask you to bear with me.

A very good friend of my wife passed away early today, quick and suddenly from an undiagnosed heart condition. Gloria Kerr was a great and grand woman that leaves behind her loving husband, six children and numerous grand children. In our hearts and minds she will always remain that one person you could always count on to give of her heart.

Her talent and love of clothing design went unnoticed living here in the Atlanta area. But her ability and unique designs won her rave reviews from all who knew her. All will miss her ability to take swatches of seemingly scraps of cloth and turn them into wonderful creations. She even managed to pass this talent on to her daughter Tabitha. So her talent will live through her daughter and will be remembered for years to come.

As you read this, you wonder of the poetic or wonderful words to a person you didn't know. It is because you should have had the same pleasure hundreds of us did in knowing her. All of her children lost a caring mother that they will surely miss. Her grand children will not get to snuggle with her. Many friends in her life, her church and around her will mourn not having her hugs and kindness. Her very loving husband is without his partner for life. The world lost another person who mattered.

You have an opportunity to simply take a bit of time to love with a bit more feeling for those around you. It means you continue to have an opportunity to meet more people in this world like Gloria Kerr. Bring happiness and love to those around you. Allow yourself to be impacted by more wonderful and loving people like Miss Gloria. Then pass it along and let your life mean something to others. Gloria's life meant so much to those around her and those that crossed paths with her. We love and will miss you Gloria. God's care and love for you now.
