Growing up in the same neighborhood Gloria always made me feel at home when I visited zJon O. I especially remember trying her fresh baked baklava one time -- best ever !

To members of Gloria's family,
Sorry I will not be able to attend the burial services for
Gloria.
It was just a short 10 months ago that our Saint Andrews High School Class of 1950 had our reunion lunch at California Dreaming Restaurant overlooking the Ashley River, and Gloria was sitting not far from me. I think all who attended had an enjoyable time. Our remaining class now shows twelve surviving members.
May Gloria now rest in peace.
George

Gloria had such a kind heart beneath that mischievous eye twinkle and smile. Once when I was at her house practicing a song with John O, she told me I sang like an angel. I didn't, but she must have sensed what a bolster to my spirit it would be to hear that, and indeed, it encouraged me to keep practicing. Gloria's kindness is always the first trait that comes to mind when I think of her. She will be sorely missed.

She had most twinkling twinkle in her kind eyes and sweet soul than anyone I have ever known. She will be sorely missed.
