She was a great mother in law and just a great human being. She loved hard and was generous. She had a great sense of humor. I´ll miss all our talks and food stories. I was blessed to have you in my life these last 10 years. You will be missed.

Gladys my wife and best friend, I will always cherish the memories both of us shared. Together we finished our commitment to each other to the Lord, and our marriage. I´ll never forget the many trips to Germany visiting with your awesome family. The raising of our two daughters (little stinkers), and all the good times we shared, and of course that little grandson Aiden, who we love so much. I will always love and miss you dearly. Thank you for the 51 years we shared.

We are saddened by your passing, and there is a major link that will be truly missed in the Dubas Family. Over the 15 years we got to be family, we celebrated some beautiful moments and not so beautiful moments. We got together for many holidays and birthdays, and always had a great time.
Those memories of time spent with you will forever be with us.
We have some comfort knowing that you are no longer in pain and are whole again in the arms of our Lord.
We will continue to love and cherish that little boy (Aiden) who stole your heart 8 years ago, and we will not let him forget his Grandma Dubas.

From the Piluso Family and Jim Moore

Mom,
Words cannot explain the loss our family feels without you here. That feeling of loss is now filled with memories of you. Memories of our quality time we were able to spend with you. Memories of holidays, traditions, vacations, game nights, bingo, and just day to day life. I´ll miss those special times but know I will carry those memories and family traditions over to Aiden. The sadness is now full of thankfulness. Thankful you will no longer be in pain. Tell Grandma, Aunt Marty, and Tammy hi and give them a big squeeze.
Remember.....I love you more.
Miss you, love you, and see you later.
Love you more, Jen
