My sincere sympathy to the Wisowaty family on the loss of their mother. So many memories come to mind after I learned of her passing from Kathy & Sandra today. Gloria & Whitey were neighbors to my parents for many, many years and watched each other's family grow up. Now they are neighbors again in heaven.
May she rest in eternal peace.
