Cindy: I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Gloria many years and always enjoyed talking with her. Clay Burkholder and her were quite the team and when we joined the firm the two of them could not have made me feel more welcome. She had some very funny stories to share about her grandkids and always bursted with pride at mentioning them. What a wonderful, thoughtful and beautiful woman. She will be missed.

Hi Cindy. I wanted to say how sorry I am at Aunt Gloria’s passing. She was always so kind and patient with us as kids. I remember fun times with you and your parents at the cabin in Peach Bottom and going to hockey games in Hershey. I understand it’s difficult to lose a parent, especially your Mom. I am sure that in the future you’ll remember the good times with your Mom and not the sad time of her passing. You and your family are in my prayers.

It’s been quite some time since I last saw Aunt Gloria but every time I saw her no matter what went on in families or life she always treated me with love respect and like I was family. May your time in heaven greeting uncle Ed and my mom and dad and looking down on us and telling the stories we used to love to hear about bring peace and joy to your family here on Earth for I am sure they will miss you dearly. God bless you Aunt Gloria!!! Cindy my prayers and sympathy are with you. You have my number call me some day and we’ll go get a coffee or something and just chat. Again my sympathies are with you. God bless you all
