My dear sweet loving Gloria Delsapio I will miss your physical presence. I will miss so dearly walking down the hall and turning the corner into the Bistro to see your face light up when you seen me! My mama Gloria I´ll miss hearing you say you love me and asking “where have you been? I missed you!” When I´d come back from my 3 days off. I will never forget you and all the memories we built together the last 3 years. I remember you asking me not to leave you ever and I told you to remember that we can never leave each other because you are always in my heart and I´m always in yours and that would make you smile. Oh you were so loved and will forever be loved. You brought joy to so many people without even realizing and sometimes all it took was a smile from you or a hello with your little wave and that twinkle in your eye. I could go on and on. I´m happy you´re now at peace and free of pain. All your friends at SG miss you and send their love and prayers to your family and loved ones. We pray that all who are feeling heavy hearted are comforted by Gods´ warm embrace. To Edward and Karen Alvino my deepest sympathies to you and I know auntie Gloria loves you both so much and you were always there for her. God bless
