I am so sorry to hear of Gloria's passing. We have fond memories of both Don and Gloria. I will not forget the lunch we had at her place in Orinda. and the tour of the house and yard, especially the bathroom with the tub in the floor. We have movies of my parents and Don and Gloria at a picnic. Don threw me(Linda) high in the air-I loved it. My Dad has Alzheimer's so I know what the family is going through. My prayers are with you all. ([email protected])
