Gloria was a wonderful friend, and I will never forget her charming disposition, and wonderful musical talent. It was obvious that she cared deeply for those close to her, and was generous to those outside her circle. Even when I could tell she wasn't feeling 100%, she always had a smile and good thoughts, whenever I came to see her and Jerry. He was a lucky man to have spent 58 years with her, and she will always be in my thoughts when I hear a piano playing... RIP Gloria...

From the time we first met at UCLA through our Music Sorority, we became special friends. Our friendship continued on after we both married the young men of our dreams, and were raising our families. We shared many picnics, get togethers,and parties, at the Speen home, which was a warm and wonderful gathering place, where Gloria always showered her guests with her unsurpassed, scrumptious lunch and dinner delicacies. Her warmth, joyful disposition,and empathetic nature could only be matched by her pianistic skills which she always continued to develop, along with the many facets of her life. When Gloria and Jerry moved to Las Vegas, we were initially sad, but very happy for them as they began their new life there. We were fortunate enough to visit them several times in their lovely Las Vegas home, and especially treasure the last visit with Gloria and Jerry a year ago, when we shared dinner and a heartwarming but too short visit at the Suncoast. Gloria was just recovering from heart surgery, but she was the same loving, laughing Gloria I had always known. Now Gloria is looking down on us and watching over Jerry as she plays a Chopin prelude on one of heaven's Steinways.

Too many special memories to begin to catalog...Gloria was part of many of the important moments of our lives. She went with Rita to buy a second wedding dress after the first one was lost in shipping. Cyndie and our Susan share a birthday and, as near neighbors in Northridge, we shared a lot of child rearing milestones over the years. Our girls still remember fondly splashing around in the Speen's pool, 5 minutes from our house. May Rita mention supporting music programs for the schools together,as well as planning parties, dinners and holiday celebrations.Gloria and I, making stuffed cabbage together and laughing, that's a picture I will always cherish. She may be gone, but her memory remains for a blessing for us all.
