Very sad to learn of your loss. Gloria was your partner for over 59 years and every one of those were caring for each other right to the end. Brian, you kept your wedding vow to care for Gloria and no one could have asked anymore of you.
I was at your wedding 59 years ago as a young man in Wales and you and Gloria were at our wedding in Southampton, 42 years ago. There will be so many memories to hold on to during these differcult times.
Will keep in touch, your loving Brother & Sister-in-law Bernard & Susan.

Brian, Tiffany and Grandson,
I’m so sad to read about Gloria’s passing. She was so special to me, always kind and courteous. When I’d come by before a trip to discuss the care of her beloved cat, Dorian, she ALWAYS had prepared fresh baked crumpets, fresh whipped cream, and hot tea. We (she, Brian and I) would catch up, laugh and share special experiences we’d had in our pasts. Rest in peace, sweet lady. I know you’re tenderly taking care of all the animals in Heaven.
