Your sister, Deborah

There is no better love than sisterly love. Gloria and I were so very close...not only were we sisters, but we were best friends all our lives. I miss her every hour of every day. I know she is in a much better place now and is no longer in pain.

I can only hope to see you one day, my dear sister. I love you so very much

Jimmy and Stephanie, I can't express the loss felt by Gloria's passing. She was God's example to human kind on this earth, no person, can surpass her kindnesses, good nature, sweet smile, and loving spirit. But I don't need to tell you that. I hope you will find some peace in the wonderful memories and in each others love. She will be so missed. God give you strength.

Jimmy and Family,

Yes, the fun days and memories from Skateland! My sisters Liz and Peggy and I spend almost every weekend skating with Gloria, Deborah, you and all the "old gang." We used to go shopping on Saturday morning, come home and make new skating outfits in the afternoon - just to wear to Saturday night skating.

Gloria always had such a great smile and a wonderful attitude. She will be greatly missed.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
