Gloria was such a beautiful caring woman. An amazing mom and grandmother. Always thinking and caring for her family and others ahead of herself. We are so privileged to have known her and spent time w/ her. Loved those times watching the kids play lacrosse and Gloria keeping Barbara under control on the side lines:)... Good times. She will always be in our hearts. And will always be caring for her family from above. Love you Gloria!

Much love and many hugs to the Pedevillano Family. Gloria was a dear, sweet and lovely lady who was a great friend to my parents, George & Kassie Economos. Daddy & John were crewmates on their B-17 which was shot down during WWII, suffered as POWs, but always remained friends. Then their beloved wives became friends, too. May Gloria's Memory Be Eternal.
