Gloria was an awesome person, kind , thoughtful, funny, and always showed up .
I was blessed to call her my friend for many years. We went to the movies and out for lunch on our day off from work. Working with Gloria always made the nights go easier and made for many good memories on the job. You will be missed my friend.
