So sorry for your loss. I knew Gloria from our Pembroke days. Brian and Jan were the only two children then. They were such a great family. I had not seen Gloria for many years but always thought of her and her family when we would cheer on the San Francisco Giants. Rest in peace,Gloria, until we meet again.

I had not seen Gloria for sometime. In years past, when our paths crossed along Main Street in Concord, we would share a lot of old Concord memories. Our fathers were the best of friends for many, many years. My brothers and I always enjoyed visits with any of the Nichols family.
Extending my sympathy to you all. Gloria rest in peace. Catherine Pappas

To the Sabean Family
Please know that I am sharing your grief in the loss of Gloria. She was a dear friend who even taught me how to print when I was in high school because I had known only the Palmer Method of writing at Sacred Heart School. Over many years, we kept in touch via Christmas holiday notes in which she always expressed great pride in all her family members. What a wonderful lady! May she rest in peace with the Lord.
