She always had a smile and a kind word. She made everyone’s day she came in contact with better. Although our contact as we aged was infrequent we shared our youth.

This wonderful lady will be missed by all of us who knew and loved her. I’ll miss our phone calls and lunches where we shared stories of our grandchildren. She was always happy and fun to be around. I was honored to be her lifelong friend and thought we had more time. I’m so very sad. Rest in peace sweet Gloria.❤️
