Condolences to Jeff, Karen and family. So sorry to hear of you mother's passing. Gloria was a dear friend for over 45 years. She always reminded me that we were Gemini Twins and enjoyed many of the same things. She never forgot my birthday, in all these years. I have many fond memories of shopping together, riding in her convertible, shopping for my prom gown, our trip to Florida and the visits she and Henry made to my parents' farm. They delighted in showing me places that I had...

Dear Family and Friends of Gloria. When I worked at Condo on the Bay I had the great Joy of knowing Gloria. We had many wonderful and funny times together. She showed me beautiful picture of her on her horses and when Jeff bought the farm she use to live on it was one of the happiest days of her life. She would share wonderful stories when all of the family would gather for holidays at the farm. She will be truly missed by many. Jean Tuttle
