Gloria was a surrogate mother to me after my mother passed. I had many great conversations with Gloria. While she may have appeared hard on the exterior, she was warm and soft on the inside. I remember when she was asked to be a chairman of a committee at grand chapter and she accepted, but was worried. What a great job she did and what a fun time that crew had. She will be missed.
