To the Family of Gloria,
She was such a treasure at Richard E. Miller school. She gave her all helping children. She always wanted the best for her children and grandchildren. We had wonderful conversations in the library about books her children would like.
You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother and grandmother, and wife.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I had Elizabeth in my third grade class and I know that her grandmother was instrumental in her life. I will be praying for your family as you mourn. My heart goes out to you.

I just wanted to tell you how much Gloria meant to our school. She was wonderful with our students, I had one student badly in need of a person that cared about her – someon that could make her feel special when everything else was falling apart. Gloria did that for her. Gloria made a big difference in the little girl’s life. Gloria was a kind and wonderful person to be so dedicated and give her time to children in need. We were blessed to have her.
Nejla Herro Franco
Thank you for all your kind words about my dear sweet Mother. We all miss her so much. We are all blessed to have her in our family. Her kindness was never-ending. Her spirit lives on in all of us.
Thanks again,
Nejla (Gloria’s oldest daughter)
