I knew Gloria briefly years ago. She was a kind,
intelligent, and lovely woman. May she know peace.

Please accept our deepest sympathy at the passing of both your parents in recent months. We met them 18 years ago and the pleasure of their company at many of our communal parties in Tobago. Your brilliant father adored your spunky mother. They were always up for the challenge. We swam and snorkelled with your mom often. She loved the water, your dad not so much but he would join us twice a day for a chat and float. They loved the different Trini feasts we had. Your mom was famous for her corn pie and avacado dip. They will remain in our memories.
