Not sure what to say?

Not a day goes by that my wife, Ann, doesn't remember and pray for Gloria. It's been eight years and she still grieves for Gloria. Ann and I visit her resting place on special days and pay our deepest respects for such a great lady. May she continue to rest in Heavenly Peace, Amen.

Though it has been some time since Aunt Gloria’s body has been gone from this earth, her brilliant spirit, beauty, and grace live on in all things divine — and in her children and theirs and theirs..... Grazie mille dearest Glo-Glo for the palpable radiance and “glow” of your being that lingers on and on and on..... with love to all

I had the joy to meet Gloria when my sister, Ann, was caring for her. Her presence brightened the room, just as it brightened the world for all who knew and loved her. It was a pleasure to get to know such a truly gracious lady. I am sure she is now brightening heaven.

Gloria is known beyond the seas, her mind landed on the French coast. Why ? Simply because she was and she'll still be a great woman, a great character in a great movie whose best actors are just yourself.
Here, a little four years old girl exchanged a few pictures with Gloria and she'll remember her a long, long time.
Gloria gave us emotions and she will continue to give us some. Each person leaves a noticeable void between four walls, or in a stare.
It is in these moments that we...

I feel very blessed to have known Gloria in her final years. The love that surrounded her and her family was evident. I have never in thirty years of nursing witnessed such inner peace in such trying times. Gloria knew the Lord and she was enveloped in love from her family. Her laughter and radiant smile will remain in my heart forever. Gloria expressed love for her children, their spouses, grandchildren and great grandchildren, daily! May God console each of you in your time of sorrow....

My mom, Ann was one of the women who helped care for Gloria. While I never had the privilege of meeting Gloria, I do know that my mom's life is deeply blessed for having had the opportunity to not only care for Gloria, but to connect with such an extraordinary woman and her family. My mom is also grieving for Gloria's son Chris because from what mom says, the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

My mom is so sad right now. And she wants so much for Chris and Gloria's entire family to...

In the short year and a half that I visited your mom from time to time, I grew to love her deeply. She was such a hero, putting up with so much and complaining little. She was a blessing for Ann and me and we are truly grateful for having her in our lives, even though it was a short time. May our good God bless her and give her the peace that she has earned. My deepest sympathy to you, Chris, your brothers, family members and Gloria's grandchildren.

Dear Gloria,Many people cross our paths during our lifetime. I believe that our Lord brought us together at a time when we were both at our weakest. He knew we both were suffering in our individual way. For my part, our Lord knew how much I was in need. For you, your physical suffering was obvious. You were sent by God to help heal me and He sent me for you! I will sing His praises for this gift He gave us. You are my dearest friend and I miss you so much. They say one loves more from Heaven....
