Dear Howard, Carla and Gina:

Rich and I are so sorry to read about Gloria. She was a grand woman who lived life to it's fullest. She was generous, caring and considerate and a joy to know. God bless and watch over all of you in this time of loss.

Dear Great Uncle Howard,
I know it has been a very long time since I seen you summer of 1971 maybe. I recall Gina having the album by George Harrison's
"Concert for Bangladesh" I stayed over night . It was released in 71.
I recall having a wonderful summer getaway from home.

I am very sorry to hear the news. I have often thought about you, Gina, Carla, and their families. I remember well Gloria was a wonderful party thrower. And your vacation home in Mexico, which I recall her mentioning it. I moved to Florida back in July 1999. Because of the cold winters and being ill.
I am very sorry I cannot attend tomorrow's service.
But ,send my love and blessings of knowing Great Aunt Gloria went to be with OUR LORD and a better place.
I hope you are doing the best you can in this situation.
Sincerely,Elizabeth Serritella
