Missing you seems not a day goes by that I do not see someone who reminds me of you or that I find myself thinking about you. I know you are at peace and free of all pain. I miss you always. Peggy

I just heard the sad news and am in shock. My entire family came to Gloria for her expertise and compassion. She just didn't do our taxes, she was a caring and lovely woman. My sincere condolences to her whole family. God Bless You Gloria.

Gloria; It had been years since I'd seen you. I just watched you over the years and paid attention, then decided I could do my own taxes. My mother Joan and Dad Armand were the first to discover you, must have been 1972 or so. Then they shared you with me. Then I shared you with my sister Sarah.(Sarah may say it's the other way around...maybe) My parents passed away years ago and Sarah kept going to you while I did my own. (so far, no audit). Till this year. My husband, Jerry passed away last Thanksgiving, 2010.Then I got a sympathy card from you in the mail. I was touched. I said,"I'd better go see Gloria, because I don't know how to handle this". Thank God! I got to see you with a big smile and hug in February 2011 and my Sis Sarah saw you maybe a couple of days later. I called recently to speak to you and was given the news, the bad news. I immediately shared it with Sarah because neither one of us could believe it was true. You know, I don't remember ever getting a hug from you until this last February. Did you know? Was it my goodbye? You have been in our lives for almost 40 years. Can it be? We will certainly miss you, Gloria. Be at peace.

Beautiful Gloria, I am wishing I could've hugged you one more time and then again. I respect and admire you for the professionalism, high ethical standards and caring advice you gave. You encouraged me to start my own business, to step up and handle the challenges that faced me--you believed in me despite my fears and doubts. Even though we had a professional friendship, you were like family to me. I thought the world of you and am grateful for the precious time I was able to share with you.

Dear, Dear Gloria, David and I always got a kick out of you calling us "kids" since you and he were contemporaries. It just showed your young spirit and love of life. As with everyone whose life you touched, we will forever smile when we think of you and only have happy memories. We are so thrilled that you and Bill had each other; you packed more living in your twenty years together than most people do in an entire lifetime. Love you always,
David and Janie

Some of my greatest child hood memories are with Gloria & her family!! She used to take me to this wonderful church that I called the barn house (looked like a barn) & I thought it was the neatest place ever!! Every year she would take me to go see the nutcracker for my birthday and that inspired me to do ballet and gymnastics! That was my favorite time of the year! Gloria you are the most purest, loving, extraordinary woman and you will be missed dearly! Thank you for everything you showed & introduced to me as a child, and for being such a caring woman! May you rest in God's hands in the gates of heaven and give my dearest brother a hug and kiss for us !! We love and miss you already! Gina & Steve Wilson/Dunn

Our prayers are with you all at this difficult time. Gloria you had done our taxes for so many years & had become someone that we trusted & admired so much. we always would tease her about what we would do when we hit the lottery. she would say We'll figure it out Lee, just hit it as soon as you can..we would always look forward to hearing about all of her trips she had so much fun going on. Gloria, you will be truly missed, & all of our Love & Prayers are with your family at this time of sorrow.. I promise you Gloria, you will still be the first one I let know when I hit the "Big One" God Bless You All. !!!!!!

My prayers are with your family. I remember when you were taking bookkeeping classes at Community College in the Old RJ Building on North Main Stret and I was taking Early Childhood Classes many years ago. Special memories of worshipping at the same church. You were so special!
I am so glad our paths have crossed.
