Gloria was a great source of information, support, and friendship to the public libraries across the suburban area. If I did not know the answer to some type of question Gloria always knew where to look, or who to ask, without ever working in the public libraries. She was a truly kind person and friend to all. My sympathies to her family.

Gloria always treated me more like a friend than a daughter-in-law, which I considered a compliment. I wish that we had had more time to spend together, and will miss her greatly.

Gloria was the heart and spirit of Daybreak Transitional Housing of St. Scholastica. She was caring and compassionate with our guests and was always there to help. Gloria, you will be missed, but you will always be in our hearts.
Love,
Ed Full
