Ms Gloria inspired me so much during my class this past January/February. She had believed in me and reassured me and guides me through a lot. She told me not to settle and use my gift. I forever will remember how she touched me and thank God for a wonderful teacher to have entered my life.

My heart is full. Gloria was such a blessing to all she encountered. I met her in 2018, and from that time we began a friendship. Gloria was such a gentle soul to be around. We talked once a week whether in the office or via phone. She inspired and motivated me to continue my nursing journey and provided resources to assist me in doing that. She will forever be in my heart. My sincere condolences to her family. Rest in Peace.

Oh Glo! I am still so in shock. It just feels surreal. We worked together since 2017 and shared an office for several of those years. Your quiet, yet attentive spirit impressed me so. Your humbleness is something to be admired. I will miss our little talks, funny moments, and office gossip! May you sleep in peace.

So, so sad! Such an unkind tale, it is now, what it is. A reminder that we are all a breath away, anyway! Only, what you have done on this divide remains, you did a lot within the short time span. Profound condolences to the immediate family, whilst larger Mbala mourns.
