Gloria T. Banning

Chris and Cary
Your family has always been like an extended one for me. Gloria was a big part of that, she always welcomed me with open arms. She wwas charming, witty and yes a tad bit skeptical. I loved her dearly.

To Chris, Carey and Barbara
I will always remember the wonderful times I have had through the years with my cousin and god mother, Gloria
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you
Remember the good times you have had over the years
Love Judy Isley

Dear Patty and family. You have my deepest sympathy on your loss. The angels in heaven have another member in their midst. Patty, you were a wonderful blessing to your mother-in-law. I share your tears. With Christ's love, Lynn Ortiz

Dear Chris and Patty,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn. Gloria had such a larger than life energy and spirit about her. Patty, you definately share Gloria's gift of hospitality and her ability to throw a fabulous party.

We rejoice that her life and legacy will carry on through Chris Jrs life.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I will remember the times we had with your Mom so fondly. She took such an interest in the kids even when her health situation was tough. Your Mom's pictures...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time, we are sadden by your lost, With deepest sympathy.

Dear Chris and Cary:
Although I don't know either of you, your Mother was a very dear friend of mine, and my mother's best friend, so I am so very sorry for your loss. Gloria was a treasure. She has been in my life since I was very young. I think she was the inspiration behind my getting involved with theater. ( a passion that I gave up in college)Every time, or at least every other time I come to Buffalo I would always call Glo. The last time I saw her was in June.I was amused that the...
