My sincere condolences and thoughts are with Gloria's family. I worked with Gloria when I was a staff of People Services about 13 years ago. During that time I always looked forward to seeing and being around Gloria. She was well liked by all and a very caring person. I am very sorry to hear of her passing but will always remember her smile and the times we had working togeather.
