Dear Gilbert & Greene families. I was shocked and saddened to learn this morning of Gloria’s passing. I saw her at the 4 pm Mass at St. Mary Church yesterday and I gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek and wished her a happy Mother’s Day. She did the second reading and dispensed Holy Communion, as well. She seemed to be well! I will miss her terribly because we had become friends through our faith. She was a wonderful woman! I know how much she missed your dad, too. Please accept my sincere condolences for her loss. May God bless you all at this very sad time. Love, Dee Carnahan
