I was so sorry to hear about Gloria’s illness and subsequent passing. I remember her as a lovely lady with a beautiful smile and laugh. Her family meant everything to her and I can only imagine how heartbreaking this is for all of you. Dawn, you were an amazing daughter and I’m sure that she appreciated everything you did for her. Take comfort in that. You have my deepest sympathy and love.
Jim and I loved Jeannie so much and will miss her terribly. We loved everything in her especially her laughter. She was such a good person and she loved her family and brother Jim dearly. Thank you Jeannie for being my “sister” for as long as you have been and will see you again some day. LOVE YOU.
My deepest sympathy to the entire family at this trying time.
