God bless Gloria! She suffered so much especially towards the end, but she continued to take the Eucharist at Symphony, which I felt privileged to bring to her. I will miss Gloria!

I was sad to hear of Gloria's passing. She was a good soul, asking about our family and our dog, and I enjoyed the pictures she used to color for me at Symphony. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
