I feel blessed to have known Gloria during our high school years. Her kind and happy nature was a genuine gift. Memories of Glo will continue to bring joy to all who knew her.

Morgen and I will miss our walks with Gloria and Beanie. Rest in peace Gloria.

Rest In Pease Sweet Gloria. Thank you for the years of mentoring and friendship. You will be greatly missed. Love Carol

I am so sorry to hear of Gloria's passing. I worked with her at a Cape Cod bank. She always had a smile to share. I hadn't hear from her in years until she helped out with a local charity the supports the children in the DY school district. She was certainly a bright light in many lives. RIP Gloria.

Such a loss to us all, you are, my dear friend. I will miss our laughs together, our thrift shopping and I will likely think of you with every cosmo I drink! I love you. Peace! Bobbi (and Charlene, too!)

Gloria, I will miss you more than words can possibly express - a heart of gold, and a true and much loved dear friend. You were there for me every time that I needed you. You taught me to be positive in times of darkness. And oh the fun we had! Tapas and great bottles of wine! You were simply the best!!! My condolences to all her family and her so many friends. She will be so missed by so many...

What a shock to hear such a vital, giving, fun person has gone! I know she is handing Charlie Tourjee his pitch pipe in the heavenly choir. I will never forget the enjoyable times particularly in our chorus and school musicals. Rest easy, dear friend, you were unique and so loved.

Oh Miss Gloria! How we will miss you - you were such a dear soul - always a friendly face and sweet words as we would walk in the neighborhood and wave to you as you walked Beanie at least 2 times a day!! You were a burst of encouragement and loved our son so dearly!! We will miss you so much! May your soul be at rest our dear Miss Gloria!!

I will miss her dearly. She had a smile you could "hear" over the phone. I am married to her stepson, Stuart Harrison. She was always a kind and giving presence in his life. And, she loved our child, Antonia, who called her Nana Gloria. Rest in Peace Gloria. Love from Patricia, Stuart, and Antonia.

My condolences to gloria’s family. She will be missed.

Gloria brought joy into many lives and I was so fortunate to call her my friend.

Rest well Sweetie, my friend, my sister. Forever in my heart.
