Gloria J. Soards


With Sympathy in the loss of your mother. No matter how good life has been or how warm the memories, the time is never enough. Only after the grief has eased are we able to find comfort in how much we gained from the years we had together. Gloria was such a fighter. She was determined to beat her cancer. You would always see her walking. We enjoyed her as our neighbor when "little" Bob was growing up. Our Sympathies to the family. Milt & Joanne

Dear Bob and family, I am so sorry to hear of Gloria's passing and want to send my sympathy to you and your family. I visited with your mom often as she was walking and we always exchanged information on you and Sean. She was a wonderful example of faith and strength. I lost my father to cancer earlier this year, and really appreciate her struggle and understand your loss. Just remember the wonderful times you shared and your memories will last forever. I spoke to Sean this evening and he asked that I send sympathy wishes from him and his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My Deepest sympathy to Gloria's family, These last 10 years that I have had the pleasure of doing your mothers hair, were sure alot of interesting conversations and I feel I know you all personally. I will surely miss her, she has been so brave through all this , I felt she could beat it again, but God had other plans for her, I will think of her often and she will be surely missed in Manchester. May God bless you all Sherilyn Cook

I was so terribly sorry to hear of Gloria's death. Just talked to her not so very long ago. We were comparing treatments and her spirits were up. I appreciated her contacting me when I became ill and she offered her comfort. Of course, Gloria always gave her best. She had just been helping at school. She was a wonderful person. I will truly miss her.
