Gloria recently went through a major health journey. She was diagnosed with kidney cancer in November right after her husband Van's Celebration of Life. She underwent surgery to have her kidney removed on December 26. We’re grateful to share that she is now home and focused on healing and regaining her strength. As Gloria recovers, the love and support of friends and family mean the world to her as you all know. Many of you have asked how you can help. Gloria would truly enjoy visits from friends and family as she feels up to them. Short, low-key visits, a friendly conversation, or simply sitting together would be incredibly uplifting during this healing time. If you’re able to stop by, your presence and encouragement will bring comfort and joy to her and her dog, Allie! Thank you for surrounding my mom with care, kindness, and community as she continues on her road to recovery. Your support makes a meaningful difference and is felt more than words can express. Thank you.
You are welcome to bring food, but not necessary. Here are a few of her favorite foods: Thai curries and noodles, Salads w/ goat cheese, Mexican- veggie and fish tacos/quesadillas, salmon, pizza and vegetarian and cheese dishes. (Breadwinners, Bella Green, Torchy's) She loves to read and do puzzles as well.
