Lynn Kautz left a message on April 23, 2026:
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Gloria, she was a wonderful woman. She was always so thoughtful to attend all our children's birthdays, first communion and many many Christmas celebrations. She even went out of the way with the help of Amy to attend my daughter's baby shower. She will be missed, but she is in a better place. Steven, Lynn and family
