Gloria’s brothers, Lupe Perez, Luis Perez and her sisters Elisa Zarate and Frances Ramos, and many nieces, nephews and friends living throughout the U.S.

The family would like to express their gratitude towards the staff at UMC, Lubbock, TX for the care they gave to their mother.  Thank you to all of our friends and family that have continued to pray for Gloria and our family.
