One of my most vivid memories of Gloria is her ruling the kitchen prior to our Seder Meal at St. Edward. Her love for people, her passion for Carmel and her parrish shown through loud and clear. In the spirit of Elisha, we need to pray for a double portion of Gloria's spirit. It is up to us now to carry on for her with the things she cared so deeply for in this life. In God's time we hope to meet up with her again ... and I'm sure she getting things ready for that day.

Debbie & Mike and Family:

"God saw that Gloria was getting tired, so He put His arm around her and whispered, "Come home with Me".

A golden heart stopped beating, A determined spirit was at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your mother.
