Gloria Knapstad

Gloria was spiritual supportive who had the great gift of listening.

I think of Gloria all the time. I always called her " Yoda" because she had good advice. My granddaughter still talks about her when she got " Blueberries for Sal " in the mail from Gloria ! She will always be much loved.

I just heard of Gloria's passing after many years of not seeing her. She was an inspiration in my life through many CFOs and through the friendship she shared with my mother, June Berry. I remember her wonderful song leading and of course her great and contagious joy.

I just heard of Gloria's passing. I treasure the words we shared and her willingness to be a listener. I remember the wonderful times I had with her and others in her living room. She was a great and inspiring lady!

Albie, our children and I met Gloria at our first CFO camp at La Honda. Her vibrant singing and piano playing gave us the courage to join in to songs unfamiliar to us.
Her love was infectious. St. Paul surely was referring to Gloria when he addressed " the saints" in his Letter to the Phillipians.
Gloria, Thanks for showing us the way.

Gloria was one of those "Human Angels", clearly sent here to love everyone. She will always be considered my second mom. What a wonderful inspiration she was to the world.

Oh yes! Gloria was a deeply spiritual person, and in line with that, she was a lot of FUN! Lots of laughter with her. Lots of memories. I hold her close, and release her to her next great adventure, with my parents and many, many close CFO/JFOers!

Tanya, your dear mom was very special to us, as you know. We're fortunate to have had her in our lives and I was always glad she was another wonderful influence for Jonathan. It's obvious from the many comments here that she was a true force for good in the world. Many hugs to you.

Tanya and family, my condolences to you. She was always such a bright, cheerful presence and certainly one of the cool mom's on the block. I know she will be missed by many.
