Bob, I was deeply shocked & saddened to read of Gloria's passing in the Arlington Advocate. As you know, we were best friends from the time we could walk around the corner to each other's house. Unfortunately, we lost touch over the years & only saw each other when she came here for funerals. I have so many fond memories of our childhood. My deepest sympathy to you & your family.

Your favorite Reb, ~Wendy (Foxworth) Almstead.

Bob and all the family,
Myrtle Beach will never be the same without Gloria. Even tho we moved away I always had such great thoughts of Gloria and all the family. I never knew the girls until I visited Gloria in the hospital but I had always heard such good things about all her family. If ever there was a good friend it was certainly Bob and Gloria. Bob we are unable to go to the service but we will visit you sometime soon and we will share memories of the good times. May God keep you all in his care.
