Dear Yale, Jonathan & Scott and Family,
We were very saddened to learn of your loss of Gloria. You have our deepest condolences. She was a sweet, soft spoken and warm lady, and very supportive of your dad.
Her hospitality was beyond compare, and she never complained about her health issues. She was always thinking about you and all the others in her life.
We shall miss her very much. May many happy memories help to ease your sorrow, and may she rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy in the loss of your mom, an extraordinary woman. You mom was one of the kindest people I had the honor of knowing throughout my lifetime. I fondly remember her as my teacher at Beth Hillel and later in life as a friend. She was always interested in how I was, how my family was and never without the most gentle of smiles. Mrs. Goldman will be sorely missed.

To the Goldman family,
I am so sorry to hear about Gloria's passing. Your parents were friends of my parents for so many years. She was my kindergarden and first grade sunday school teacher. I think she was one of my teachers in middle school. I remember her visiting Israel a few years ago and the tour guide talking about how impressed she was with her energy and desire to see everything. I was very happy to see her several months ago. As always, warm, kind and cheerful. May your mother's memory serve as a blessing.
