Due to COVID-19, there will not be a visitation prior to the funeral services. We understand that many may not feel comfortable to attend because of the virus and we support and understand that each person do what is best for their individual situation. The important thing is that you were a part of Gloria’s earthly life. Should you not be able to attend, consider saying a prayer of Thanksgiving that God shared the loving beautiful person Gloria was with us for so long and that she was able to be a part of your life.
