Gloria Patricia Griffin Staewen

So blessed to have known Mrs. Staewen--she was such a beautiful lady in every respect of the word. She was such a dear friend to my mother Catalina. The world is a better place because of her. So sorry for your loss.

My "Aunt Pat" as I called her, was the most lovable and endearing aunt I could have wished for. She was always there for me with encouraging words and advice. I will always treasure her for her generosity, exuberance and love. I was blessed to see her last year and get one of her wonderful hugs and good wishes. I will love her forever.

Gloria was a beautiful lady inside and out, with a huge heart of gold. Her love for John and her five beautiful girls exemplified the strength of a close family. Magically, she always had enough extra love and genuine concern to share with others, and we are so blessed to have known her and experienced her passion for life. We will always treasure our long talks and admire Gloria's capacity for creating a bit of Heaven wherever she went. Love to John and our favorite "SS" sisters, and prayers that your memories of Gloria's smile and joy will bring you comfort as you celebrate her transition to eternal life. Until we meet again, lovely lady.
