The first thing I think of when I think of Gloria is, "beautiful and kind soul". But then again, that is the Sari family. She has been reunited with some of the best. May we all find peace, comfort and strength knowing that she is HOME. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Sari family.

We all reach that time in life when our dearest treasures are our Memories...and among my memories there is a long-ago place shared with Gloria and Mina, when we were young and laughing as cousins together. Our numbers are dwindling! Rest in peace, Gloria.
