I am saddened to see that Gloria has passed. I worked with her at Ed Black's Chevrolet for many years and had some great times together with our mutual friends. I will miss her!

I too knew Gloria from Ed Blacks Chevrolet. She was a great person and will surely be missed. Recently she visited some of the people at Casa Chevy to get some work done and visited with some of her old co-workers. It was nice talking to her and remembering the good Ol days. May God be with her family during this difficult time.

I first met Gloria when she worked with my dad at Ed Black´s Chevrolet. Always smiling, always helpful, always an inspiration. Travel well in your next journey, dear friend.
