Charlie Kremer, my husband, ushered with Ed at IC for many years and knew Gloria long before we married in 1984. Both Ed and Gloria were good friends through the years and always brought humor and tender care to us no matter what life "brought" to us.

Truly the were a rare, fun-loving pair and excellent role model for many Pre-Cana couples and all who knew them at IC.

Their constant devotion to their marriage, family and friends were part of their gifts to the Parish, our school and the community at large. Often volunteeering their time and talent for special projects and concerns, they were always ready to lend a hand a give 150%.

Charlie and I will miss them, as I am sure will their children, grandchildren, other family members, parishioners, friends and neighbors. They were true treasures and gifts from God.

Our love and prayers to all the family and sincere apologies for our absence last week, as we did not receive word until after the funeral.

As a member of our Swingers Ladies Golf League, Gloria was always a sweet lady to be around, never getting upset and always having a kind word to say. We missed not having her as a part of our group when she found out that she had cancer--we missed her then and we will miss her now. I know her kindness will be rewarded in heaven for being such a good lady. Her gentle spirit and quiet fun nature will be missed.
