I was really sorry to hear of Gloria's passing. My mother Shirley Avner was very close with Gloria and I know this was extremely sad for her to hear about her passing. All my best to the entire family. Love Marilynne Avner-Wisniewski

I am so sorry to hear of Gloria's passing. I will always have such fond memories in Chicago. She was a sweet, gentle, cultured woman who raised a fine bunch of young men. i will never forget the loving household she and Mr. Sacks made in Flossmoor. Rest in Peace.
