The kindness, encouragement and friendship that Mrs. Trowbridge conveyed to me over the years will remain a lucid memory all of my days. Rarely does one bridge the generational gap and form a connectedness such as the one I enjoyed with my dearest friend. The inner nature of an individual is often protected and in some instances rarely revealed to others, Over time, true friendship removes these defenses as was my experience with Gloria. Thank you for your lessons, your laughter and your honesty. You will be missed so whole heartedly,
Your Friends,
William & Jennifer Danforth
