To Eva, Doreen, Eleanor, Louisa, Shirley, and Georgina as well as the Gross family members, I am sorry to hear of Gloria’s passing. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Our deepest sympathy to all the family. Our hearts & thoughts are with you. Sorry we are unable to attend the funeral as Orv isn’t feeling well & Im with our daughter at hospital-she’s having an emergency appendectomy.
My mom and dad, Irwin & Joyce Manske, lived across from Gross’s on Admiral Crescent and they visited
back and forth in one another’s homes. Your mom was such a kind, sweet lady with homemade baking for every coffee time. Mom enjoyed time with her.
My condolences are with the family as know you suffer a big loss.
Our deepest condolences to all of Gloria’s family. We were hoping to attend the funeral but we both have developed bad colds that are getting worse rather than better. It is wiser for us to stay home. But we will be with you all in spirit this afternoon as you lay Gloria to rest. Our prayers are with you.
Clayton and Joan Leugner
Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your mother.
Very sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy to the Gross family.
