I have many fond memories of Gloria, and of LaVern. Gloria was so kind and caring, I so enjoyed visiting with her, especially while taking long walks here in Williamsville.
Our sympathy to Kent, Mark, Craig and Todd. You had wonderful parents who were much loved by everyone who knew them.

We are so sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. LaVern and Gloria were always such a big part of our lives. They raised 4 wonderful sons. We were lucky to have them as neighbors. Please know you are all in our prayers. Bob has appts in St. Louis with his oncologists tomorrow so we will not get to see you.

Kent, Mark, Craig, and Todd
So sorry for your loss! We spent a lot of time in your home and with your family, both throughout school and even on summer vacations. Everyone that knew your Mom and Dad, enjoyed being around them. Lots of great memories over the years.
