Not sure what to say?





It is still unbelievable that you are gone. The "girls" toasted you and Ferby at "our" dinner. You are remembered and missed.
Mary, Patrick and Adam. I pray your sorrow is lessening. Grandmom/Gloria is watching over you. It is so sad that she is gone from you too soon. Love you Gloria.

Although we don't feel it now, every memory, every tear is a celebration of life. I will miss my cousin more then words can say. Anytime we spoke there was laughter. If Gloria, Mary, Dennis and myself were together it was fun.....four crazy cousins together. I will miss those times the most. The lose is the greatest to Mary, Patrick and Adam. I will pray for all of you, and will be there if you ever need me. May your sorrow soon be replaced by nothing but beautiful memories. God has a very special hard working angle by his side now.

I had the honor of knowing Gloria for 6 years. And worked closely with her the past couple of months. She was always smiling, joking around, always tried to cheer me up when I was upset. She always gave me advice on a lot. She treated me better than my own family does. I'm going to miss our talks, our joking around, our elevator rides, our breaks and lunches together. I love you Gloria.

Mest Family,

Gloria was a good person and will dearly be missed. I only knew her from shopping at Giant. She always had a smile on her face and said hello every time. Please accept my deepest condolences
