Sorry for the passing of Gloria . She was such a great person and I have great memories of her back riding the bus and in School at Walcott and West High days. She had a funny side and I remember the day she was at our Farm with my sister and model rockets had just came out I launched it and it went up 5 feet turned sideways and chased Gloria across the yard the look on her face as a Kodak Moment. I will miss her Mike and Gloria were a perfect fit for each other and have some great Children. RIP
