Sorry for your loss. Gloria was such a lovable person and loved to square dance.
She had a smile for everyone and was very kind. Thanks Gloria & God bless you.
I had the pleasure of working with Gloria in the ER for 20 years at Mo. Bap. What a caring and generous person- May God provide you with peace during this time.
As members of the Gateway Wagoneers we always enjoyed camping and square dancing with Bob and Gloria. They were always eager to participate and support the club as well as each member on a personal level. We will miss them.
