i just found out about glorias passing. i had written her an email. she would always answer me. i tried to call and then saw her obituary. Gloria helped me out by taking two of my cats when i got sick and then we moved. she made sure i got my cats back. she arranged for them to be flown out to Utah for me.
she was such a good friend. tho we never met in person, we spent lots of time on the phone and the computer. i am so going to miss her. not only me, but so many people, and all of her four legged children.
i miss you
love

So sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in reading John 5:28,29
As she crossed the Rainbow Bridge, Gloria was undoubtedly met by a stampede of beautiful kitties & dogs whose lives were saved because she cared so much.
The world was a better place because of Gloria & she will be sorely missed.
With great sadness, I learned of Gloria's passing. For some years, she and I were sisters-in-law and spent many holidays and other family occasions together. We stayed in touch even after our divorces. I was grateful for her continued friendship. I will miss her quiet humor, generosity of spirit, and devotion to the arts and worthy causes. My thoughts and prayers are with those she treasured most, her special friends and family members.
So sorry to hear that Gloria has passed. She was the kindest. It is true, one person can make the world extraordinarily better.She did that. Rest in peace.
Just read of Gloria's passing. Rest in Peace sweet lady - you helped me on more than one occasion with rescued kittens.
It was a privilege and sheer pleasure to be Gloria's close friend for more than 60 years. She was my sister, though there was no lineage to prove it; simply, we loved each other and stayed loyal to that friendship throughout our lives.
She will always be with me.
Gloria had a wide and bright smile each time I was with her, and I am so happy to have known her. Her love for animals, especially cats, and her bright outlook will be missed by all of her friends and family. Prayers and thoughts are with those who will also miss her in this world.
Gloria was the best. Very sorry for your loss.
Gloria was a dear friend and class mate for many years and it was wonderful to be with her;
laugh, have fun, ride horseback, play
clarinet with and enjoy each others company.
A privilege to be with her so much.
Albert,
I am so sorry for your loss and our hearts and prayers go out to you.
