My dear friend Shannon, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your wonderful Mother. I feel so blessed to have had her in my life growing up with you. We have so many great memories that I will cherish for life. Thank you Gloria for always treating us girls like your own. Thank you for the great times we had, like taking us to the cottage in the summer and putting up with our sleepovers that lasted all night and letting us climb in your bed to share your beloved Oreos. Thank you for all the great conversations and advice. You truly were an angel here on earth. My sincere condolences to the Speck & Fox family. May Gloria rest peacefully. Shannon, I'll always be here for you, just a phone call away. Xoxoxo
