High school friends of all the Umland girls were made to feel welcome and part of the family by both Gloria and Frank. We are blessed by our own enduring friendships, but also by the acceptance and support of their parents. So many fond memories of hanging out on the farm. Gloria was tough and tender in just the right measure.

Gloria was one of the happiest and joyful person we have ever had the privilege to know. Together with Frank they were a wonderful part of our lives. While she has gone ahead of us to meet our Savior and Creator, we know our separation is only temporary. We shall meet again. Frank be assured of our hugs and prayers.
