"Gloria was an amazing one of a kind woman. Love that she lived life to the fullest right to the end. She raised 5 wonderful women and still found time to help all that of us that came her way. I will be forever grateful for her friendship and to her for introducing (and pushing ) me into the camp profession. I will continue to be inspired by her spirit and her love for life. May you all find comfort in all the wonderful memories you made with your mom. "
