Phoenix, AZ Saturday, August 5, 2023 Gloria was my good friend and neighbor for many years. She was an inspiration to me because of her faith and courage during her treatments for cancer. She had a cross that she held in her hand. It gave her great comfort.She encouraged me to share the music I am inspired to write at Trinity when I was in Fremont on vacation. Glen Mueller and I performed Remembrance, a piano organ duet the year after my mother's passing.
I have an online memorial service on my you tube channel. I will be doing that tomorrow during her service. Search for online memorial service betty campbell and sing and pray along. To receive a copy of the script, send an e-mail.
