Anne and Ben, May God Grant Peace and Comfort to you and your Entire Family. My Condolences. Irene Wright/Tampa
Our memories of Gloria are very precious as we reflect over our teen years; we felt like extended family. She was a caring and loving person. We lived in a close knitted community of families from Pine Street to Carver Heights and even at the same church; Mt Olive Progressive Baptist Church, Leesburg, Fl. Those were the good ole days. Her work will speak for her. Gloria's memories, the laughter and her presence will be missed but know the Lord is there with you never leaving or forsaking you.
My heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with her husband, children, Sister Ann and all the family.
