Lori Ann & family:
Although I never met your Mom she seems to have been quite a hoot. To raise such a lovely person as you are she obviously was a wonderful Mom! I wish I could have experienced those clambakes she was famous for and speaks of. ?. wink wink.
Wow what a send off!!! Chardonnay in one hand and a Pinot Grigio in the other! A woman after my own heart. My prayers go out to everyone, she obviously touched many hearts. She is up in heaven “double fisting” smiling down at all her loved ones.
God Bless
Gloria was the best! She always made us smile and laugh when she came into the office. She will be missed dearly. Our deepest condolences to the family.

So sorry for your loss. May she RIP?
Gloria was one of a kind!! I am so happy that I was able to spend some time with her over the past couple of years and enjoyed her reminiscing about the old days with some people that I knew. She was always laughing and so full of fun!! I am sure there is a party going on in heaven! Cheers!!
Gloria “Sid” was an amazing woman. Her cooking was fantastic. She had a way of drawing you in and making you feel like family. Sid loved to entertain, I remember one late night party that I attended, I went to leave in the morning and saw her black lace bra flying from the flag pole! And whenever we would see each other after that she would say, “Hey Petey remember the night we ran my bra up the flagpole? ” loved that woman. She will be missed.
