May 10, 2015 at 4:29 pmDear 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

It is with such sadness that we hear of Auntie Gloria’s passing. She was one amazing, strong lady and loved by many. She is home with the love of her life, Uncle Bob and is looking down at all of us with a smile.
She will be missed dearly by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
