The Goldich family was blessed to have a special person in our lives like "Ganny". She was a great mother to Julie and an even better grandmother to Brian, Carly and Kara. She was even a good mother in law! We loved her and will miss her. God thank you for having blessed us and taking her home to be with you.

Julie Navarra Goldich February 18, 2010

"I remember thee in this solemn hour, my dear mother. I remember the days when thou didst dwell on earth, and thy tender love watched over me like a guardian angel. Thou hast gone from me, but the bond which unites our souls can never be severed;thine image lives within my heart. May the merciful Father reward thee for the faithfulness and kindness thou hast ever shown me;may he lift up the light of his countenance upon thee, and grant thee eternal peace! Amen".

Ganny, I love and miss you so much already. You were the best grandma I could ever ask for. You were the most loving and caring person I have ever met. I miss talking to you, laughing with you, and touching your soft skin. I know you will be looking over us. Life just isn't the same without you. I will love you forever and always!!

Hi Ganny, may you rest in peace in heaven with all the other angels (especially my Mom). I know you'll be the best of friends, just like me and Julie. Although I met you only 6 or 7yrs. ago, I felt like I've known you forever because you remind me so much of my own mother. Don't worry about Julie, I'll always be here for her, we're like sisters. Love you, Michelle and family

I will never remember Gloria without a smile on my face for all the wonderful laughter filled times we shared. She was not only my working partner but a dear friend who was always there for the good and the bad times. She truely adored her children and grandchildren and I know what a terrible loss this must be to all of you who loved her so. She will always be remembered in love by those who knew her.

My condolences to the entire family. Having worked with Julie the past 7 years has given me the opportunity to hear many warm stories. You have blessed your family and will be missed. Even though you have departed I can assure you your memories will live strong with your wonderful daughter. Thank you for blessing me with such a wonderful friend in Julie.

I worked with Gloria in the old SICU off the OR at Central General. She was a mentor to me as I was only out of nursing school 1 year. We shared many laughs together and sad times too. I will always remember "MOTHER" with a smile on my face. So glad we got together for her recent birthday. May GOD bless her.

Brian Goldich March 18, 2010
Ganny, You were the best grandmother anyone could ask for. We were blessed to have you in our lives. We love you and miss you. You will never be gone from our lives because you are in our hearts everyday. I especially want to thank you for raising a daughter who has become a great mom. She is every bit your daughter and I love you both. Thanks for all the great memories. I love you
