March 26, 2017, marked the 40th anniversary of the homegoing of our mother, Gloria Mae Pierce. It’s so hard for us to believe that 40 years have actually passed. To us, her entire life is still so very vivid in our minds. Our mother Gloria left a legacy of love, respect and distinction that will remain with us forever. She would have always wanted us to love and respect each other as family. We love and miss you, mom, with all our hearts. Rest forever in peace!
