Gloria was a devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who lived for her family. She was just as devoted to her friends and treated them all as her extended family. She was a woman of great grace and beauty with an enormous smile and heart that she shared with all who had the pleasure to be with her. We will miss you Ms. Gloria and know that you are smiling down at us forever.

You could always count on Gloria to brighten up any room with her infectious smile, her wit and her manner of delivery:-) Those of us who had the pleasure of knowing Gloria have been truly blessed with a friendship that will last beyond eternity, as she touched us all so deeply. We all will truly miss her, but we know she is watching down on us:-) She's most likely forming a Bunko group in Heaven right now:-)
