I knew Gloria from shopping @the Downtown Younkers. I would always stop in the store about a half hour before close and make sure I received all my discounts. Well by the time I gathered all my stuff, it was close to closing. Gloria was like a head Cashier I believe, because she always new who was running behind closing and would often ring me up herself, at the downstairs Customer Service Counter. It got to the point where she would joke with me over a twenty five year periode, if I shopped early or was right at closing again. We became fast friends and I later got to know her Brother Frank. He and I became friends and one day told me, Gloria was his sister. Gloria was a Class Act, She knew every Regular Shopper by name. Always provided Great Customer Sservice with her Character being above and beyond reproach. Glory it was a pleasure becoming your friend and being able to work with you. You will be Greatly Missed. I want to wish Frank and the rest of the family my condolences. Rejoice in knowing, that Gloria is now with her Lord and Savior and is in a better Place. May you find love and solace, knowing the Gloria Rests in the Palm of God's hand. I asked the Lord to protect this family and to Grant his covering on all of you. Amen
