My Sister Gloria

My big sister Gloria passed away this morning at around 5:00 AM. I flew out to Toronto a few days ago to see her and to be with her. She was 90, had lived a good life and passed peacefully. She leaves five children.
I had some "alone" time with her the night before last and although she was in a deep sleep I bored her with talk of the old days in Edmonton and about our family.
Here are Gloria and I at Wasaga Beach during my last visit in 2011.

  6. Bless your heart Croft, I'm sorry to hear this. Hearing is the last to go, so I'm sure she heard every word you said. How lovely for both of you that you could be with her at this time.

  10. If my memory serves me right, I do believe you did a blog on your visit with your sister in 2011. Barbara is so right, my Father's doctor said the same thing; no doubt, Gloria heard you you speaking to her and hung on every word from her little brother. Lots of hugs, and you will get through all of this. Sending condolences to you and her children. Five children, what a large living legacy she left in this world.
