I knew Gloria in Fairhaven  She was my step-sister and I did love her. Im sorry I lost contact with her but she has a family that loves her so very much and I give them my condolences from my heart...

To my dear family... it has taken me until now to know what to say and even now I am still at a loss for words. I will forever remember Gloria as a loving wife, a loving mother, a truly compassionate, generous, and kind friend. She saw in people their potential and believed in them when they did not believe in themselves. She was good at encouraging others to reach for more than what they thought they deserved. When I think of her, I see her the twinkle in her eyes, the smile on her face and think of how lovely it will be to see her in all her youthful beauty in paradise. I love you all. You will always be in my thoughts ,prayers, and heart.

John, Sarah and Emily:
My deepest sympathy is extended to all of you during this time.  Seeing Gloria when we return home to Fairhaven has always been a highlight of the reunion time for me.  John, I don't know if you remember, but Gloria was the first (non Sacred Hearts Academy) friend I made when we entered the High School.  I cherished her friendship, warmth and exuberance.  We spent many happy hours in the stands at football games  with the Pep Squad.  Gloria's beauty was real; her love of people and life were genuine and infectious. 
She will be sorely missed.  May your deep faith  
soothe you during this difficult time.  God Bless all of you.

Emily, I am keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. May peace be found in the coming days.
Love,
Kelli

I was introduced to Gloria by her daughter, Sarah. They came in my family jewelry store to look at jewelry!  I didn't realize in front of me stood a true creator of jewelry!  The ribbon pendant she designed is BEAUTIFUL!! When she and Sarah came in the store, I sensed a calm, loving spirit :) As I read her guestbook, I see I was correct!  While I am very sorry for the familys loss, I am so excited for Gloria!  I have read that Home is a wonderful, glorious place...a place she so richly deserves!  She has a new job now!  To help take care of her beautiful family, from the other side! God Bless you all!

We just returned from vacation and learned of Gloria's death through Nicolette Bascom.  We've known the Bryans for 32 years since our days in the South Boulder Congregation in Colorado.  We felt honored when Gloria entrusted her eldest child, Sarah, who was approximately four years old, in our care while she worked during the day.  When another spiritual sister died, Judy Mahaska, Gloria was by her side offering comfort and hope through the scriptures.  Gloria offered herself to others no matter what the distance.  We missed them when they moved to Ft. Collins, away from the Boulder area.  We were happy when we heard that Gloria may have beaten breast cancer; then saddened to hear she had lost the battle.  We send our love and support to the Bryan family as we look forward, with joy, to welcoming her back to a Paradise earth were there will no longer be any sorrow or pain.  Agape

It will be wonderful to see Gloria in the paradise with lots of energy and vigor.

I am so sorry for your pain.  I have watched Gloria with admiration for years now and especially appreciated her encouragement to my best friend in the world Ann Kolinske who also has been fighting cancer.  Gloria's courage and self sacrifice for others....Jehovah holds her safe now til later.  May he hold your grief in his hands and make it easier to bear.  Trish Harris

Dear Sarah & family..We are so sorry for your loss...you are in our thoughts & prayers..Always, Lori & family

Dear John, Sarah and Emily, 
Today, I heard that Gloria fell asleep in death.  I am sorry for your loss.  It has been many years since I have seen your family. One time that sticks out in my head was in the mid-eighties when you let us hang at your apartment unannounced, while John, you fixed our car so we could get back on our way to the assembly in El Paso, TX.  Gloria was not at all ruffled by our being in the way for a long day.  I will always remember Gloria's pleasant, upbeat voice.  From the guestbook, it is obvious that any who had the opportunity to spend time with Gloria enjoyed her immensely.  May you find comfort from our God Jehovah in the days that come, looking forward to seeing Gloria's smiling face in paradise.
Warm hugs for you all,
Tricia Furlong

To Gloria's family: We are so sorry for your loss and want you to know that you are in our hearts and prayers.  May Jehovah's spirit comfort and strengthen you in this time of sadness.

Gloria's pain and suffering are over.  When she is resurrected back to the earth, to Gloria it will be as only a second of time went by.  Satan can not cause her ill health or pain ever again.  Gloria will be in Jehovah's new world under our King Jesus Christ's leadership.  We in the meantime are the ones suffering and missing Gloria's beautiful smile, bubbly personality, and love.  In order to be in Jehovahs God's new system we need to concentrate on focusing on Jehovah.  Jehovah will help us carry our burdens during these rough days ahead.  Pslams 55:22.  Please do not miss any meetings.  These are our lifeline now.  Even if you do not know what is being said in your grief, you are where people love you and Jehovah' holy spirit is there.  In time you will be able to focus on what is being said.  We need to continue to fortify ourselves as Satan will continue to try to side tract us from serving Jehovah.  We are deep in the time of the end and see the Great Tribulation on the horizon.  This is the time when we need to ""lift our heads because our deliverance is near.""  Luke 21:28  We can look forward to getting things ready for Gloria, Vic and Dale to be resurrected.  We can have resurrection receptions then.  We love all of you.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Hugs to all.  Nickie and family.

Dearest John, Sarah, Emily and family; Barb and I wish to share our deepest sympathy and sorrow with you. Gloria was a sweet, positive dear sister. We have the fondest memories of her help with the birth of all three of our children, Mariah, Jake and Val. It warms our hearts to know we will see her smiling face again in Jehovah's new system.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Gloria was such a bubbly, happy person and just so caring.  She lite up the room she was in.

Thank you, Gloria, for trusting me to be a part of your health care team.  Over the past few months I got to know you and treasure our friendship.  May Jehovah keep you safe in his memory until your ""short nap"" is over and we see you again.  John, Emily, and Sarah and all the rest of you who took such good care of Gloria, May Jehovah bless you and comfort you with the knowledge that Gloria will be back soon now.
Susan and John Swanson

Gloria, for now, we will miss your smile, laugh and love. 
John, Emily, and Sarah we send you hugs, tears, but also hope. 
Take time for comfort.

Dear John, Sarah, Paul, Tori, Bella, and Olivia Emily, and Shawn, and also Channel and Stuart -  Gloria and I were 'kindred spirits' from the first time we met - Almost 30 years.....all the memories of fun and tears we have all shared together - maybe I should sit down and write a book of 'memoirs' - wouldn't that give us all a good 'laugh'?  Thank you for letting us be a part of all your lives.  Time is truly a 'healer' - and Jehovah will help us get through our sorrow together.   We will all look forward to welcoming her back into our lives on a Paradise earth  Love from all the Schlueter's, Carl, Phyllis, Matt, Rich, Kerstin, Ani, Bailey,  Amber and Zack

I had the privilege of getting to know Gloria through work at Centre Avenue Health and Rehab.  Never in my life have I known a more generous, beautiful and giving person.  Gloria was the glue that held the Nursing staff together in many difficult situations, yet she never lost her warm and caring attitude no matter how bad the situation.  My heart and sympathies go out to her family, whom I never had the honor of meeting.  I know she loved and adored each of you.  Her eyes always sparkled more brilliantly when she spoke of you.  
She fought the good fight and now her journey is ended and she has earned her reward.  She is in the arms of our loving Father, is at peace and out of pain.  
I know she will be looking out for all her family and friends as we complete our journeys and can one day be reunited with her.

I never met Gloria in person, however I knew her through my daughter, Laura Aubert, who knew her personally through work.  We had sent emails to coworkers asking for donations for Himalayan Goji Juice to assist Gloria in her fight against cancer.  This set up a chain of emails to people who did not know her, but were certainly glad to send juice and to pray for her.  These people have regularly asked me in person and through emails how she was doing.  Our email chain stretched all the way to Canada.  I kept them informed by forwarding Gloria's emails.  
She was a wonderful inspiration to us all.  She was so connected to her world and family through her loving spirit.  She was always so positive.  She was a true example of not only how to live, but also how to die and move on to the next world. 
I want Gloria's family to know how sad we are to hear of her departure, but also how glad we are to have known her through her emails.  I will never forget her.  Know that you are in my prayers and thoughts.
Love to you all,
Diana Bredemeyer

John, Sarah and Emily,
I want to share my deepest sympathy with you and tell you how much Gloria meant to me personally.  As you know breast cancer has touched our family in the most tender spot as well, with my mother, Glenda and I will always remember my mom turning to Gloria for support and hope that Jehovah will soon take this away.  I look forward to thanking her for keeping the hope real when we see her again.  She will be missed.  I am so sorry for your loss. We truly love her and you all.

John, Sarah and Emily,
Our hearts we saddened to hear the news of Gloria passing.  Our prayers are with you and it is our deepest desire to share in welcoming Gloria back in the resurrection.  We have many fond memories with your family.  Even though miles and time have separated us we still hold our friendship dear. We will always cherish our memories with Gloria. Her strong faith will not go unrewarded.  She was blessed to have such a loving husband, daughters and grandchildren.  Be assured of our love.
Randy, Diana, Megan Hilton

I worked with Gloria at Centre Ave and will always remember her smile and her ""let's work together to figure this out"" attitude. She was a person I could go to with any concern, and I could depend on her to follow through with our decisions. I missed her when she left and thought of her often. My deepest sympathies to all her family and friends. She was a beautiful person.

To thr family of Gloria Bryan: Our hearts and prayers go out to you as you mourn the passing of a dear loved one.  She is in a safe place, Jehovahs memory, and you will see her again soon.

I was so sorry to hear about Gloria's passing. She truly was one of our favorites to ever come in to use the VIBE machine. She is an inspiration due to her courage, attitude and most of all her kindness. My condolences to the entire family.

Gloria was the most beautiful person inside and out that I have ever met.  Gloria has a wonderful, loving family that stayed by her side through thick and thin.  Wonderful, wonderful family. Gloria was a trooper and was a fighter.  She is now in a happy place and is at peace.  She will look down upon her family and protect them and give them peace.
Love to John, Emily,Sarah and all of her family.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. There was no doubt what was most important to her - her family. We cannot wait to see her again in the new system - young, healthy and as beautiful as ever.  May Jehovah give you peace and a sense of the love and concern we all feel for you.

Gloria was my first born and what a wonderful blessing she was to me. I will miss her greatly, words cannot express the loss that I feel and will continue to feel.  Her loving Dad

Im Gloria's cousin. Our mothers were sisters.  I'm Kathy Crites sister.  Gloria and I were only a week apart in age.  Aunt Marie has been forwarding notes updating me on Gloria.  I have some fond memories of playing together when we were young at family gatherings.  I know she will be missed and has given me inspiration for a positive outlook in my life.  I wish we had not lived so far apart.  My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

John, I never had the opportunity to meet you but know you were a dear best friend and husband to Gloria.  I am Gloria's cousin.  Our mothers were sisters.  I met Sara when Aunt Louise passed on, but don't remember Emily well.  Aunt Marie has been sending notes to the family for some months and it gave me the opportunity to really know Gloria and her family.  Since we lived so far apart, we didn't have the opportunity to be close through the years. Her notes also gave me a sense of Gloria's deep faith and love for her family.  I know she will be missed so much.  She set the bar high and continued to reach for it, living every day as fully as possible.  I wish  you the strength to go on living with her watching over you and your children and grandchildren from heaven.  My prayers are with you and the family in this time of sorrow.

The last time I talked to Gloria , she said she was at peace.Her face showed she was, and now the pain is gone from her body and she will live peaceable in Heaven. God Bless you Gloria and your family.

Emily, my heart goes out to you, your father, sister, nieces and all that loved and cared so well for your mother during her good times and esp. through her darkest hours.  We would indeed be blessed with such caring and loving family throughout our own lives.  I only met your mother twice, but I know how close you were and I'm sending a big hug to all of you, and a hope for comfort among those you love and who love you.

Emily-Cheryl Beery, JoAnn Cannon and I want to express our condolences to you and your family.  Terri Berger

We are so very sorry that Gloria lost her battle with cancer.  She tried so hard for so long.  Please know we send our deepest sympathy and love to you all at this time.  What we will always remember is her 
beautiful smile and kindness.  Even when she felt bad she smiled and was always concerned about how you were. It will be wonderful to see her again and give her a great big hug.  We send hugs to you all too!  More importantly Jehovah will keep you in his embrace until that day of healing.  Numbers 6:24

My prayers and thoughts go out to you, Emily and John and the rest of your family.  Gloria will be missed by all that were priveleged to know her. I hadn't seen her in a number of years but she would always give me helpful advice through my mom and hope to see her again in the paradise and thank her. May Jehovah comfort you.
Emily Perry and family

My deepest sympathies to Gloria's family.  I have been friends with Gloria since our days at Fairhaven High School.  We enjoyed the good times at our class re-unions and continued our long distance friendship thru e-visits.  Gloria's courage and positive attitude was inspirational. Gloria, I will miss you.  Have a safe journey.

Though I am sad at her passing, it brings me joy to have known Gloria for the 14 years that our children have been married. Gloria and I shared a bond not only with our children but with our 3 beautiful grandchildren as well. They loved her very much and I am so happy that she was able to spend a few final days with them, sharing that love.

Our love and condolence to all of Gloria's family. Her courage and positive outlook during her extended illness was an inspiration to us all. We know her dear mother Louise, our sister, received her in heaven, and even now holds her in a loving embrace.

My deepest sympathy to Gloria's family.  Gloria and I were friends at Fairhaven High and enjoyed remembering all our good times at class reunions.  I also had breast cancer and was lucky enough to reconnect with Gloria through email.  Her messages were always uplifting and inspirational with far more concern for me than herself.  Gloria touched so many lives and will be truly missed by all who knew her.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.   This poem expresses how friends feel now. Gloria was a great lady,she will be so missed,but she's always here through our memories & those of her famil&friends.I wil always be able to see her through the beautiful faces of her glrls,as well as those gorgeous  grandbabies.

Gloria lived her life with such grace and dignity.  She touched so many lives with her strength and courage.  I had the privilege of knowing Gloria for nine years.  I will miss her energy and beautiful smile tremendously.  Her family was so attentive and devoted to her (and to each other) which was truly inspriational.  I'm thankful to have been part of their journey.
