Heather, Kevin and Family,
Memories of my friend, Gloria, go back to the mid 1980's as we sold realestate together and opened the Realty Executive office. I remember how proud your Mom was as Heather worked as an airline stewardist, the wedding planning and the joy David brought to your Mom and Dad, the birth of the first grandchild and excitement as each of the others followed. She loved the way Kevin and David worked w/your Dad...the master carpenter. Gloria loved going to church and serving at Harvest Community. Gloria appreciated every moment w/her Mom, and the families of her brother and sister. You've been sooo special as you each enriched her life. I was blessed to be her friend as you were to be Gloria's family. Never will I forget sharing laughter, tears, prayer, and most of all the faith, hope and love of our Lord.
