Affectionately known to all as, “Grammy”, Gloria deeply loved and cherished each of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and all of her extended family. She built strong family traditions and memories through her deep faith and exquisite cooking and baking. Whether a joyous or challenging situation, you could always rely on Grammy praying for your safety and happiness.
We all pray with you now Grammy as the angels have carried you to the kingdom of heaven so that you may reunite with your family who left this world before you. The memory of your love, generosity, kindness and gentle spirit will remain in our hearts forever.

Dear Barb,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Praying you have peace and comfort. Your mom will be with you always as you treasure the loving memories forever.
Dear Barb:
You are in my thoughts and prayers. What a wonderful daughter you were to your precious mother.
Barb and Joey,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. May you lean on one another and keep your mother/grandmother’s love and memories in the forefront.
Valentine Family,
You have my deepest sympathy. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
Barb and Joey…….I’m so very sorry for your loss.
I had the pleasure of knowing her for many years and she was always kind and gracious, and always was trying to feed me!
She loved life and all those around her….she leaves behind a wonderful legacy in her family. May the peace that passes all understanding surround the Valentine family during this time – and always.
Barb and Joey-
I am so sorry for your loss. I know your mom/Grammy has been struggling for a long time. I know she is at peace. May that same peace be with the two of you during these difficult times. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Barb,
Our sympathies to all your family, loved growing up on Moss Lane and all the great families. Your mom bringing out homemade chocolate chip cookies after your brother Tom threw me a pass and I tried to catch the football with my face. Your dad being tough and strict like all our dad’s, would tell you when you were wrong and then smile, at some point all the kids of my generation knew we had multiple sets of parents looking out for us and wanting us to do well. I thank God everyday for having grown up on Moss Lane.
I loved reading your mom’s obituary as well, beautifully written, she was simply beautiful and leaves a wonderful legacy in you, Julie and Marty all the grandkids and their children.
Wishing you God’s peace.
Mark Horstman
Gloria Valentine Family
May “Aunt” Gloria rest in the arms of her beloved family waiting for her in heaven!
Barb, my heart aches because I couldn’t be there with you and your cousin Joanne Schell to share in your sorrow of such a beautiful person from within and out. What a great neighborhood we had , sharing each others joys and sorrows. The memories will never leave us . Gloria is enjoying the Peace and Love with our love ones in Heaven. May God be your comfort.
Sending my love, sally Prezioso
