    I met Gloria many years ago when I joined Forks of the Delaware Garden Club. The year she was president of the club, I was her vice president. We made such a goofy team that we called ourselves “Dumb and Dumber”. We just couldn’t remember who was “Dumb” and who was “Dumber”, so we’d each argue, “No, I’m dumber!” She was a lovely, delightful, funny lady. We lost touch after the Garden Club disbanded. It was a shock to see her obituary in this morning’s paper. My condolences to Jeff and all the family.

    Dear Jeff, Robin, Rod and Jennifer,
    I was so sorry to hear about your loss of Gloria. Although we have been out of touch for many years, I have many memories of good times growing up as neighbors on Fairway Drive and babysitting for Robin. My deepest sympathies to you and your families. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
