Gloria has been friend of mine since 2nd grade. Always a good, kind person and became a clever, hardworking, successful business woman. I would visit her each time I returned to Culver. She had a wonderful family and many friends and will be sorely missed.

It's hard to express the heart felt sorrow I feel at the passing of Gloria---a friend, part of my family, and a bright light that will be missed by all. The smile was always there, one who was always close when you needed it, and a friend that would stop in the middle of her busy day just to listen to your problems. You and Randy touched my life in more ways than you could ever imagine. Know this----you will never be forgotten. Gary

I am so proud to have known Gloria! She was a true patriot, loving wife and mother and true friend. Her passing was such a shock to me, God must have really needed her help! Pray for her family as I will, they are really going to miss her as we all do. Blessings over all. Jean McCoige Bystry
