"Gary, Greg, & family. I loved Guiula very much. She was very dear to me. We worked together at Singer Furniture Company from 1977 until 1982. We have had lots of good times together. I used to drive to Harrisburg and spend the weekends with her, we would go to gospel singings together. I have lots & lots of happy memories. She treated me like I was her daughter and I treated her as my mother. I held a special place in my heart for her. She and I would talk on the phone for hours at a time, laughing and talking. I am sure going to miss being able to pick up the phone and talk with her. But I know she is walking and talking and laughing with all of our loved ones in Heaven who have already made the journey. I pray for God to wrap his arms around all of you and comfort you as only HE knows how.
