Dear Gilbert Jr and Andrea,

My most sincere condolences. Gloria was indeed a special person. I was lucky to have met her, if only for a short time. She was so proud of you guys! We used to talk about you all the time while I worked for Rockwell. I too lost my mom unexpectedly last July and can share your pain, but I find comfort in knowing that she is now in a better place next to God (and my Dad.) My prayers are with you and your loved ones. God Bless...
