There are not enough wonderful words to describe Glory, but I will try. She is kind, compassionate, understanding, friendly, funny, awesome, thoughtful (and I'm sure there's a lot more)! She is a colleague, a friend, an older sister, an aunt and maybe even a "Mom" to some of our co-workers. She always sees the good in everyone and make every situation stress-free. She has a very contagious energy and smile that will make you ask, "where is all that energy coming from?" We had the fun memories of joining and going to the Alzheimer's walk in Balboa Park for several years and I will miss that as well as the reminder from her (which I'm sure she did not have to do), whether via text or email that I am missing an hour or less to remind me to put in PTO hours to complete my 80 hours for whatever pay period. Last year, in November, I received a GIF from her wishing me a "Happy Birthday" at 7:15 in the morning and I was not even at work. Lastly, I am glad that I sent her a GIF wishing her a "Happy Mother's Day" this year in which she replied, "Awhhh! Thank you for remembering me. Each day is a gift from God. Have a nice day!"
(Ate) Glory, thank you for everything. Love you and I will miss you.
🧡🧡🧡

I had the honor of having known Glory for many years. I am claiming her as my "bestie". I am a Dietitian, but Glory eats healthier than I do. She grows her own vegetables and fruits - organic. She supplied me with her produce: lemon, pear, tomatoes and leafy greens. Looking back at her texts, I realized that about 70% of the pictures were of her garden and plants! 30% are pictures of her dearest grandson, taken when she would babysit once a week. I got texts when she bought clothes for the baby, and when he wore the clothes grandma bought. Don't give Glory sweets...it makes her hyper the whole day - this is a running joke for the Vi Care Center team. She is very careful of what she ate but calls herself a "bread fiend". She loves bread-specially pan de sal. She would finish a couple of them like nobody's business in one sitting! Our last talk was about more than two weeks ago. She wanted to rest, take a leave of absence with the goal of coming back to work. She said she was feeling better. Our call lasted for almost an hour, I would attempt to stop the call so that she can rest, but she would talk again, and it felt like she wanted to chat some more. We've had quite a few of these chats throughout her journey and I will miss her. Glory calls me Nanette after I mentioned that only my family call me this name. She is my work family and I do hope I was hers. The last text that I received was on mother's day when I greeted her. Her reply will always be with me: "Thank you!! Love you and miss you much 🧡🧡🧡". I love you Glory and I will miss you.

Dear Dial family,
Glory was a pleasure to work with on our Vi Lifestyle team. I admired her greatly for her optimistic and enthusiastic spirit. When asked, she gave me running pointers. My last 5k was dedicated to her. I think of her so often. We both have two sons and a new grandbaby. I miss her, but she'd encourage me to see the positive side of things.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
Mellany Hanson, Lifestyle Director at Vi

My name is Patricia and I own the Rose Academy of Irish Dance. I have worked with Glory every year for almost twenty years to bring Irish Dance to the residents at Vi every March.

Every year, she was so energetic, and excited to see the children and the adult dancers! She provided special cookies each year that the dancers looked forward to.

I remember March 2021, during the height of the pandemic, Glory was determined to bring Irish Dance to the residents at Vi. We worked together to figure out different areas that the dancers could put dance boards down on sidewalks, driveways, streets, for the residents to come out to their balconies and see the dancing in a safe way. I will miss her!

I was lucky enough to work with Glory each month when we would bring our therapy animals to visit her residents. Her dedication to enriching the lives of everyone around her was just one of her many beautiful qualities. Glory will be missed by so many!
