Gloria was a person that when she walked into a room everyone wanted to talk to. There was always a special glow about her. She never met a person that didn't become her friend. She was a the strongest person i have ever met. I am very sorry for everyones loss, I hope everyones ready up there shes' sure going to make them laugh.

Gloria will me missed by everyone who knew her. I was fortunate enough to have met her through her brother, Peter. When we stopped at her house to visit, she always had a big smile on her face and welcomed us with open arms. She always made me feel comfortable. Gloria would always tell me to come back any time. The thing about Gloria is that she meant it. She did not say it just to be polite. She enjoyed people and people enjoyed being around her. This was evident by the stream of people she had visiting her at the hospital. Not just family members but also neighbors, and childhood friends. Gloria will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Gloria was an amazing woman and friend to me and my family. She had the biggest heart I have ever seen. We have shared so many wonderful memories together. I am grateful to have had an incredible person such as her in my life for all those years. She will forever be in my prayers and in my heart. I will miss her dearly as she was my "Go to" person. She had all the answers for me. She has taught me so much in life and she has always been there for me. I will never forget you Gloria. I will carry you in my heart always. You were the best neighbor/friend the Fiore's ever had. It saddens me to think that you have suffered pain the last few years. You put up a good fight for a long time and you never gave up. Your in a much better place than we are my friend. We will all reunite oneday. For now, behave up there in Heaven. I bet your the most sassiest Angel up there. I guess God thought he needed you more than us down here. Until we meet again my dear friend Gloria. I love you and will miss you dearly.

Love you always, Pina
"Peanut butter" to you.
