Condolences
We will miss you Gloria.
Deear Mary, Keith, Rick and Family,
Gloria was a real fighter. After she got saved and accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord she spent many hours living for HIM and spreading the gospel message of salvation. I am sure she is dancing among the flowers in God's Heaven. Blessings to you, and we will miss Gloria!
I will miss you dearly
Gloria was my professional guide on my first job at Wyeth Laboratories in Great Valley, PA. In fact, she was my mentor on many aspects of my new job, including how to handle the same boss that we had. Although we have not seen each other in years, those memorable years at Wyeth in 1980 are still fresh in my mind. Enjoy your company with God in Heaven. We will all miss you. Peace. Eddie
