Gloria was one of women in business that made Lawrence great. She was right there with Bev Kennedy, Edna Conrad, Martha Hopkins, Ruby Mallot. When I went into those businesses , those women were in charge. Gloria was the "boss" , she just let Walt think he was. They had a cabin at Lone Star as I did and were the best hosts for our round robins. I enjoyed Gloria when she was Dunkin Donuts and she did not hesitate to share her opinion and welcome others. She always said hello and was a matter of frank person and a lightning ball of fire. If there are conversations in the beyond, Gloria will bring Walt up to date. Gloria, tell Walt hello !

Gloria was my first cousin, and although she spent most of her life in Kansas, she was present for many family occasions in her hometown of Northampton, Massachusetts. She was known for her keen wit, and a dry sense of humor. She lived a full and productive life with Walt, the love of her life. May she fly with the angels and be gloriously reunited with those who passed before her. Rest In Peace Gloria.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one . May 1 Thessalonians 4:14 bring you some comfort in knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death. They are very precious in Gods eyes. May the God of all comfort strengthen your family during this time of deep sorrow.

Walt and "Glo" Morton were my parents (Frank and Winifred Hentsch) best friends when my sister Cheryl and I were growing up. We spent many Friday nights at each others houses and weekends at the Morton cabin on Lone Star Lake. Such wonderful memories and friends!
