Oh we are so sorry for your loss. Gloria and Lou were our good friends and neighbors since we moved across the street in 1986.. Lou always gave us good advice on how to be a good homeowner. Gloria was so sweet and witty, we would often talk to her about – anything – and she was a comfort when we needed support. We would stop and talk to Gloria whenever we saw her in her porch. She knew all the neighborhood gossip! Feisty and lively she was. I will treasure her memory.

I remember staying with newlyweds Gloria and Lou in Los Angeles, sleeping on their living room couch. I remember Gloria’s parents (Dvorak’s) and shopping in their eyeglass shop.

Aunt Gloria was such a special aunt. We enjoyed visiting her and Uncle Lou in Chicago when our children were young. She was so kind and full of life. We send love and deepest sympathy to Karen and Steve and families.

Gloria was one of my favorite relatives. She always made me feel special, and seeing her was one of the highlights of every visit to Chicago. Her great sense of humor and love will be sorely missed. Sending love to you, Karen, Steven, and family. May her memory be for a blessing.

Years of Mah Jongg games and long lunches. Gloria was a treasure and became a very good friend.
