Our lives are so much richer having had the honor of knowing Gloria. She was a kind and gentle woman with a loving and compassionate spirit. Those who were blessed to have shared a memory, experience or a simple chat with Gloria always walked away feeling a little better about themselves or the space that they live in. Thank you Gloria for your generous gift of yourself to those who knew you. You were an amazing mother of six children, a fantastic and loyal friend, the best tortillia maker ever and a adorable woman of your generation who will be loved by many forever!

Together again
