    I am sorry to hear of Gloria’s passing. She was a valuable part of our Bible Study years ago. I remember her comments on the passage always made us pause a think again about what we had just read. We had good discussion and good times. We all grew a little taller with Jim pulling our leg. We almost renamed the Bible Study , The Cheesecake Bible Study , not because of the content which was always treated with respect but because of the fabulous cheesecake that Gloria would make when we had a social. It was “divine” and we all grew a little wider because of Gloria’s amazing desserts. A grand lady, who will be very missed until we are all together again.
