To my family in Franklin – I am so sorry to hear that Gloria has passed. She will be welcomed by Uncle Paul, my sister Ronda, my son Adam and my dad. Heaven is going to be beautiful with this angel added. I Have some very fond memories of the Shoffstall home. The warmth, love and genuine family atmosphere was what I Felt when we visited.
