Gloria and I were childhood friends in St. Johns, Michigan. She and I loved to play house with our "walking dolls" as our oldest and a couple of baby dolls along with them. We could play for hours, and every day, and never tired of it. She moved to AZ probably when she was 10 and we have kept in touch for all of these years. I am so happy I was able to talk to her last year, being we were unable to come to her Anniversary party.
Our sincere sympathy to Bob, and Jodie and to Mom Gladys also. She surely will be missed.
