Not sure what to say?

Dear Al and Jennifer,
I just heard the sad news about Gloria today. I will always remember her bubbly personality and how she always greeted everyone with a smile. It was a pleasure working with her at St. Gregorys. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Gloria will be remembered by everyone who knew her for her kindness and friendliness.

I worked down the hall from Gloria at Swedish Covenant Hospital.

I knew she was very sick and had been in the hospital for some time. I had wanted to visit her but knew she would not have wanted that - to be seen in such a way. I was on a plane reading a newspaper when I came across her obituary. My heart just sank and I spent the rest of the flight thinking of her. I fondly remember the many many conversations we had, especially those of the giant blow-up holiday lawn figures...

Dear Al & Jennifer,
You are in my prayers. Gloria was in my prayers for these past many months.
I pray you will always remember the good times.

Al & Jennifer,

At the last moment, I simply had to follow my heart and attend the church service for Gloria on Friday morning. As it turned out, I was seated with staff members from both the current Development Office and the former Development Office of Swedish Covenant Hospital. Gloria was such a key member of the Development Office for so many years, that it really made me feel like I was simply holding Gloria’s seat for her. (No one will ever fill it).

Since our two offices were next to each other, I saw her frequently and enjoyed her great smile and laugh, love of life and genuine kindness; I called her my Gloria in Excelsis! She often shared the fun she had attending the many concerts and club appearances she enjoyed so much. Everyone she came in contact with loved and appreciated her and the way she brightened all our lives. May you, her family, find peace and...

Dear Al and Jennifer,
Our deepest sympathy in the loss of Gloria. She will be remembered fondly, by myself as well as Annette, Laura, Jennifer and Connie.

You are in our prayers.

Mary Bouchard and Family

Joan Cowie Manning and myself stopped by last evening to pay our last respects to Gloria. We all were Class Of 1969 classmates and friends together, and Gloria will really be missed. I was in Freshman Homeroom with her, and I was struck then and continued to be in awe of her friendliness, hard work, passions, wonderful laugh and sense of fun. Gloria, you will really be missed.

To Gloria's Family,
You have my deepest sympathy. Gloria had a warm smile and genuine way with others. She really lifted your spirit when she spoke to you. My prayers and thoughts go out to you. She's missed at Swedish Covenant.
