Please accept my condolences to the family. I was privileged to know Gloria and David during my younger years and our families shared some very good times with some lasting memories that I won't forget. Glorias last days were blessed by a loving family that shared in her great faith. It was an honor to see that. I will remember her as a great mother and wife and a role model for others to follow. Until we meet again Gloria in Gloryland.

My deepest sympathy to all of Glorias' family. Your dads family lived behind our house in Tolleson and your dad and your uncle Joe helped us when my dad suffered a mild heart attack while in our backyard. Your mom heard my screams for help and they all came rushing over. Your mom talked to me and calmed me down untill the fire dept. came and then they took over from your dad & Joe. They were both great people. I know they willl be missed greatly.They are with God now with my family and the family & friends that proceeded them. Love to all and keep the faith.
