I am sorry to hear of Gloria's passing.  A lovely lady.  I am glad that on a recent visit to CT I was able to enjoy lunch with her and several other CHS graduates.  A life well lived.  My condolenses to her family.

I knew Gloria and her family before we were at Central. After high school we lost track of each other. Fond memories of our days at Central. Wishing Dick & family my sincerest condolences and may her memory be for a blessing! Rest in eternal peace.

I had the opportunity to reconnect with Gloria after our days at CHS while working on our 70th birthday party.  It is so sad to hear of her passing and the loss of another one of our classmates.  My sincere condolences to her family and may she rest in peace.
