My deepest condolences ?. I’d like to say Gloria was kind, loving, friendly and faithful. A great mother. A true angel walking among us. There wasn’t a time I didn’t feel welcomed or part of her family. She made me feel beautiful and important. My 2 daughters and I will never forget how she shared her family recipe for Cuban black beans. We will always remember her and honor her , when we make that dish.
