Mom I miss you so much, I cry everyday…cant explain how I wish u were here. I love you always
I was in Guatemala when Gloria passed away and was so sad to learn of this only today. Our families were neighbors in Lakeridge many years ago and although we don’t see each other often, I have enjoyed my friendships with Greg and Nancy over the years as well as periodically seeing Gloria and Don. I last saw Gloria and her family at the Wing’s home.
My sincere condolences to all Gloria’s family and will remember her in my prayers/thoughts. Gloria was a nice lady and will be missed by many.
Grandma where did the time go..I know it’s been only a week since your passing but I still imagaine you here everyday with us..I hope you are at peace, and I love you very much and miss you..

May today there be peace within..
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have reeived, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love; it is there for each and every one of us.
May you find God’s peace in all that your mother/grandmother was.
Peace from our hearts to yours;
The Pricco Family
The Gloria I remember is a vibrant woman, a person who is talented in the art of sewing, dance and love of life. I recall her and Don’s 40th wedding anniversary at the community center at their mobile home in Renton when they showed off a few of their dance moves in front of family and friends. Gloria was a person who could sew up a storm and was very good at it. I particularly remember her sewing Jane’s wedding dress and she was routinely at the sewing machine when I visited Nancy at their home. After being involved with Gloria’s family for 37 years I truly know what dedication of family means; when times are difficult and unexpected situations occur your children are truly your love, lifeline and a reflection of values that their parents have taught them. Gloria was a fortune woman.
Remembering all the good times we shared. My heart goes out to Don and the family. Gloria was a very special person and always fun to be with. My deepest sympathies to all. Your feeling of loss never goes away but the memories will always be there to comfort you. Kathy Canter

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad and difficult time.
So many memories of the fun times we enjoyed with you and Don and the “kids” over the past 50+years. We count you more than Aunt Gloria, but as one of our dearest friends, ever. It’s been a long struggle for you for too many years. Now we wish you God’s best Blessings and a good rest! Love Bill & Carolyn
