Barbie. It is with a heartfelt sadness to hear about your mom our cousin. Gloria had a heart as big as Aunt Sophie. Remembering the laughs and fun we shared over all the years. A cousin that would be there if anyone needed a hand. She will be missed deeply. Dr Albert And Frances (Skierski) Mategrano

Gloria was my older cousin. I used to look up to her. Aunt Sophie and her were in my life from a kid. We always had a good repor, relationship. Sometimes we'd talk on the phone for..a long time. I'm glad I got to see her earlier this year. I am sorry for your loss Barbie. I will miss her, my cousin, Gloria.

My most deepest sympathies to the loss of your mom. Loved her very much and reflecting on how she always knew how to make us laugh. Will always remember her for her incredible sense of humor, her sweet personality and beautiful smile. Sending you lots of love and hugs. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I will be out of town on Saturday but wanted to make sure you knew I wanted to be there.
