Our deepest sympathy to the Eaton Family. Gloria Eaton and family was our first neighbor when we moved to Coleus Park in 1970. It was such a joy and pleasure to see her working in the yard and fixing anything that needed to be fixed around the house. I call it a true blessing to have known her. She was never at a loss for words and boy could she Dress to Impress! We will miss her deeply and will remember her always.

May the Lord's light shine upon her now and forever.....

With love, The Popplewell Family~

My thoughts and prayers are with Gloria's family. I went to HSPA school with her but also knew her in the South End of Boston and went to the Abraham Lincoln School in Boston. She used to comb out my hair and we sang while she did this. She loved going to the HSPA reunions whenever she could. I'm so glad she made the last one. I will remember her always. Angela Goguen, class of 1953.
