Gloria was my Friend and Student of Doll Making for over 36 years. Nothing can replace the memories of us being together almost every week during class time, seminars or traveling together. She was a constant, true and loyal friend. The kindness in her heart and soul was seen by her willingness to want to teach others her brilliant gift of art, beadwork, and wonderful sewing skills. As we spent our last week together in New Orleans at a Doll Convention, She received a very prestigious Award, the Triple Crown Title. She was so thrilled, and her constant companions and friends and I were by her side. It was amazing. She knew how proud her Family would be to know this. Thank you , The Gearhart Family, for sharing this unbelievable, awesome women in my life. I learned so much from her, and my heart is so sad that she left your lives. She will forever be in my heart. My complete heartfelt Sympathy.
