In my thoughts and prayers to you Robert P Jr and your family. ❤️
So sorry for you loss. Sending our thoughts and prayers your way. When I think of your Mom Jon I think of her hair. She always had her hair done beautifully. Beautiful supportive woman, Mom, wife and grandma. May she rest in peace now.
Bobby, Robbie, Jonathan, Sarah, Ava and Caitlyn, Gladys was one of the nicest persons I ever knew. She warmly welcomed me into the Giza family years ago when I married her brother and she remained supportive and gracious all through the years. I know that her children and grandchildren meant everything to her. She always found the good in everyone she knew and never said an unkind word. She was smart, sincere, and generous. I will miss her.
So sorry to hear about your loss Robert, friend. Sending hugs your way.
I knew Gladys through my dear friend Robert and FB .... though I did speak to her on the phone once. I had phoned her to reassure her that her son Robert was fine and would be fine in his newest venture.... we laughed and chatted, all was well. Gladys loved her son Robert, believed in him and was always thrilled with Robert’s extraordinary talent and design. Gladys was lovely to chat with.... especially as we had never met. I would have loved to have met her and give her a big hug! Imagine 82 and active on Facebook! I send love to Robert and family and may Gladys rest in peace.
Robert, Jon, Sarah, Ava, Caitlyn and the rest of the Peczka family, sending you our sincerest love and compassion during this most difficult time. Gladys was a wonderful person with a bright and vibrant soul. She will be dearly missed.
