GLORIA M. RIVERA

February 6, 1929 - January31, 2022

Mamasita, you are missed oh so very much. Your one-year anniversary has come and it’s been a very difficult year. Even though your time as all of ours are in God’s hands, you didn’t stay one day later or go one day earlier because God has taken back what is his. As angels ushered you into heaven, we realize you’re under Gods’ ultimate plan. We hand over our spirits to the hand of God. As the Lord took care of your time here, He has taken care of your eternity. We release the heartache to you, dear Lord until we meet our mamasita again. Prayer is a great outlet for grief as we bathe our sorrow in the lotion of prayer. The pain is lessened but will never go away. You may be gone from our sight, but you are never gone from our heart. The song of your heart, your love and laughter are pierced in our hearts and mind and we will forever miss your strength and presence. Until we meet again, we will keep the faith and keep looking up! Dad (grandpa Rivera), Ron, Kenneth, Suzette, we miss you so very much. Love Anita, Iver and Richard Burke, Riveras and McDowells.
