To the family of Gloria Ducharme,

I was one of Gloria's lucky piano students many years ago in Stafford Springs.

To Gloria Ducharme's family, It was with sadness we read that Gloria had passed away. We got to know her and enjoyed her company for several years. She was a thoughtful, kind person and you have our deepest sympathy.

My deepest condolences to the Ducharme family. I started taking piano lessons with Mrs. Ducharme when I was in 2nd grade.

I was happy to have the chance to spend some time with her at my aunt's 80th birthday party several years ago. She will always have a very special place in my heart.

Amelia, Angela, Charothy, and Geoffrey all had Gloria as a teacher. In addition, Both Kathleen and I sang in church with her at the organ. She will be missed by many, and replaced by none.

It wouldn't take you long before the songs were memorized and you found yourself singing along. She was so much to so many. I know that she will be a peace and that she will enjoy seeing your Father and catching up with...

There will be truly beautiful music in heaven now that Gloria is there. Gloria is a perfect name for her -- she was pure glory. God is rejoicing now that Gloria has joined Him. My prayers to the family. I just heard about Gloria's new life at Mass tonight. She is singing and playing Alleluias!
Peace, love and prayers, Anne B. Stauffer
