It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Gloria with her family by her side. Survived by husband David of 43 years. Deeply loved mother to Denise (David) and Jaime (Brad) and her little dog Mya. Grandmother to Kelsa, Adel, Brynn, Andrew and Ethan. Survived by her brothers Dan McNeil (Sandy), Wayne (Carol), nephews Dan and Jim and nieces Tammy (Craig), and Wendy. Pre-deceased by brother Bill Jr. and parents Bill and Christine McNeil.
The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two
one side filled with heartache
the other side died with you.
I often lie awake at night
when the world is fast asleep, and
take a walk down memory lane
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy
I do it every day
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain
until the joyous day arrives
that we will meet again.
Heartfelt thanks to all of those who knew and loved Gloria, and supported the family through this extremely difficult time.
A celebration of Gloria’s life will be held at the Qualicum First Nations’ band hall on Sunday, October 4th at 1 pm. Address: 5859 River Road, Qualicum Beach. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the North Island Wildlife Recovery Association.
