OMG! I'm am so sorry to hear of Gloria's passing. My cousin and I worked part time at KB Toys with Gloria and she was so much fun to work with. She was easy to work with and fun to pass the time. She was a honest person and knew her job and what it took to run that store. We loved working for her! Shirley and I pushed for her to be the Manager because she knew her job inside and out. God Bless You Gloria, we missed you from the time you left the store! You were wonderful!
