My sincere condolences to the family of Miss Gloria Biggs, who was my trainer during my internship in 1985 with the Department of Corrections. She was an Angel and she looked out for me and so many others during her tenure with the agency. When I learned of her passing, I had to sit down for a few days and just reflect on my many fond memories of her. I wish I had more time with her in her last days. I would have told her how much she impacted my life at the young age of 22. I will always remember her genuine love for others and comical personality. She was hilarious and always made me and everyone else laugh with her comical gestures and comments...she should have been a Comedian! I will truly miss her. Take your rest Ms. Gloria Biggs, you deserve it!

May you rest in Peace.
I remember our long talks at work. Gloria loved people and always wanted to lift others up when they were down. She loved her family and talked about all her nieces and nephews. I admired how she dedicated her life to take care of her mom and family. She was a great caring you Boss, Friend and Soror.
