My deep sympathy on the loss of your mother and grandmother. I was really saddened and surprised to hear of her illness. She was a lovely woman, and really gave of herself. Grandchildren! How time flies! I still have a picture of the girls with Fr. Juvenalij Slota, OSBM, and they were about 10 years old or so. I will offer prayers for her, and for all you, whom she left behind. Grieving is always difficult. May the Lord give you peace. - Posted by: Sr. Christine Dudych (second cousin) on: May 05, 2017

I was speaking with Gloria about a month or so ago, where she mentioned that she wished that the ramoli group could get together sometime in June within the next few weeks. I was very thankful, that Hazel (part of the ramoli group) was able to arrange this, consequently we met at Mountain Coffee. We all had a very nice visit with Gloria and I know she truely enjoyed the visit as well. I also wanted to tell you that Gloria's service today was very moving and spiritual. My thoughts go out to you and your family at this difficult time. Always remember, Gloria's spirit will go on forever in all our hearts. Take care Shirley Diduch-Canaday - Posted by: Shirley Diduch-Canaday (Part of the remoli group) on: Jul 12, 2016

Truly sorry to hear of Gloria's passing! The last time I saw her was back in 2006 at Dollarama...she was still the Gloria I remembered from back in the day when we had so much fun working together at Elmhurst Golf Course some 20 plus years ago! We gave each other a hug, laughed & joked..as all those years just melted away of not seeing each other & how our lives had changed & moved on in many ways! A member had asked us one day if we were related, as we had many of the same mannerisms? (we actually weren't..) but because were very much alike in our attitude towards life & never giving up..not too mention we were a couple of real firecrackers most of the time & basically kept a lot of people on their toes..& don't pretend you don't know who you are or were all those MANY years ago!! lol!! We said we'd meet for coffee...soon..but as we all know in life..soon never came...& life went on..& we became Grandmas..& our lives got even busier...but there are just some people who stay with you in your heart & mind..no matter how many years go by..& Gloria was one of them. I admired Gloria very much..not only for her tenacity in the face of whatever life threw at her..but to say she was the BEST waitress at Elmhurst, would be an understatement! She was one tough cookie..& loved & appreciated by many..including her fellow staffers! Rest in Peace bebbie..you were more than an original...you were one helluva gal! My Love, Sympathy & Kind Thoughts are with you ALL at this difficult time... Sincerely, Carol - Posted by: Carol (Co-worker) on: Jul 09, 2016

We knew Gloria and her children from early childhood. Gloria was a dedicated Mother whose priority was always her children. She drove them to Ukrainian dancing often after shovelling her way out of a long driveway after a winter storm. She was self sufficient, pleasant, and a good person. When our beloved niece mentioned that there was an opening at Elmhurst for a waitress, we suggested that she apply for it. It turned out to be a very pleasant experience for her. Gloria always could make the best of any situation. We truly treasured knowing her. Her children were so blessed to have her for a Mother. Rest in peace, Gloria, Heaven will be honored to have you. - Posted by: Kathy & Bill Fecio (Neighbours and friends) on: Jul 09, 2016
