Dear Tom and Family; What a sad loss for all of us that knew and cherished Gloria. Her presence made everyone feel so good at the CPD masses. Our Creator God has now added another Angel to his Kingdom. May she RIP with Tommy now and watch over us all like she has always done. I will sure miss her good nature and spirit.
Take care Tom and stay safe. Kugie

Our Gloria is now in the presence of our God, the only one who loves her more than we do. In her last weeks, she was never alone due to the love and loyalty of Tom and family...you should all be quietly proud of being such a strong, loving family. Gloria knows God's presence and God's peace now, and she's surely enjoying Tommy's smile as well. All I can offer you are my prayers and my thanks for sharing her with us. May the good God sustain you these days.
