"Dear Gordy and family, Having lived in Antigo for 11 years, I regularly check the Daily Time's website to keep in touch, but I'm just today, 1-29-19, seeing that your dear Gloria has passed away. Gloria was one of the nicest, warmest and welcoming people to me when we moved to Antigo in 1987. I loved coming to your house for bridge games, her good food and her wonderful personality. Please accept our deepest sympathy today and always as you continue life without such an amazing woman. God bless Gloria and all her family. Sincerely, Donna & Phil Loritz"
