I met her online, in a site named GPX. We worked together among other people to help people get an achievement. Her energy drew me to help her help 2000 people get the achievement. She was very helpful and energetic, and directed all of us towards the goal. I will miss her greatly. 

Thank you for all the fun we had together at GPX. I'll never forget you.

She was my friend at southwestern college I just found out today about her passing. Fly high with the angels 

     Thank you so very much to all of Gloria's friends and family that were able to join us, both at Glen Abbey and online via facebook live streaming, for Gloria's viewing, Rosary, and Vigil service at Glen Abbey on July 6, 2020 and Gloria's funeral Mass at Corpus Christi Catholic Church and Rite of Committal at Glen Abbey on July 7, 2020.
     Our family is comforted by all your words of love, comfort, and encouragement, and your stories of how Gloria affected your lives in so many positive ways touched us deeply.
     We will partner with the Southwestern College (SWC) Foundation and Professor Mark Valen, Gloria's mentor at SWC, to establish a scholarship in Gloria's name for Landscape and Nursery Technology (LNT) students at SWC to carry on Gloria's love of nature and the outdoors.  All who have read Gloria's biography know how much she loved working and volunteering at the South Bay Botanic Garden at Southwestern College.
     God bless each and everyone of you who shared your love for Gloria with us through personal conversations, cards, letters, e-mail, on-line posts, flowers, and videos.  We are truly blessed to know Gloria has such good friends who love her as much as we do. We will do our very best to see that Gloria's legacy lives on in the future LNT students who will, in turn, beautify the neighborhoods we all live in.
With Love and Gratitude,
The de Jesus Family

I met Gloria at SWC, through many years we bonded over our love for chess, Lord of The Rings (I pretended to be the bigger fan but she clearly knew the lore much much better than me), creativity, deep talks about faith and our experiences. I loved listening to her poetry, now i wish i had heard more of it, but i know what they were about, they were statements about sincerity, about retrospection. They were simple, personal and unafraid of expressing herself. Many  fun experiences we shared with gloria in and out of chess club, too many to remember altogether, they will be coming as time passes, they are coming as i write this. She left a mark on me. I will  remember her as a cheerful woman never afraid of losing, always striving to understand others and to be understood. 
To her family: you raised a beautiful woman, her laugh will be on my memory, her witty remarks and solemn statements come back as sincere hope, she hoped for things to get better in every respect, you raised a kind person with genuine love for everyone she met. 
Her passing took me by surprise, but writing this condolence i cried for your daughter.

My deepest condolences to Gloria’s family and friends. 
I met Gloria as part of the NeuroLinks ASD student group at Southwestern College. As a professor and a parent of autistic child, it was so wonderful to see Gloria’s acceptance of who she is and that constant  determination to live her best life. 
The news of her passing makes me very sad, but I am also encouraged to see how much love she spread out to the world and how many people truly cares for her. 


To the DeJesus family, my deepest condolences. Gloria was a jewel, a miracle that changed this world.   She will be truly missed. I believe her spirit is now soaring in light and love. She is our angel now and I’m sure she is watching over all just as she did in life. 

Roland, Miriam and family, my prayer is you will be comforted in your heart knowing that Gloria’s Spirit lives on. 

Love always Bonita Hyde and Family ❤️

I was very saddened to hear about Gloria's passing.  She was a warm, caring, intelligent young lady.  She was appreciated as a student, volunteer and employee of the LNT department.  Gloria never passed up an opportunity to participate and learn but we all learned just as much from Gloria as she learned from us.

Thanks for the beautiful smiles Gloria and a thousand hugs to you,
Meredith

Our condolences to the De Jesus Family!

Gloria will always forever be in our hearts!


Aloha from Jeanne and Mom

The GPXPlus staff consider it an honor and privilege to have known Gloria for over a decade. She was a pillar in the community, leading several groups focused on helping everyone reach their goals. She never hesitated to reach out to others to help them with their problems no matter what they were. After breaking the news of her passing, dozens of members came forward with personal stories of how she touched their life and how saddened they are at her loss. It is clear to us that Gloria was an exceptional individual who will be sorely missed as the heart of our community. We will never forget her. 

Thank you so much for the time you spent with us, Gryph. From all of us.

Often people come to our lives disguised as angels, healers, with a mission to serve a purpose of love, understanding and hope. My first semester at SWC was not the best, in the midst of it all someone welcomed me with open arms, not just as a student, a classmate but as a parent. Gloria. She asked me how I felt, what my dreams were, she gave me encouragement, she made me laugh, she was kind. She was a beautiful individual full of light that I truly wish I’d spend much more time in this world with. Gloria welcomed me to a much bigger world, where my children happen to be a part of as well. She thanked me for being a good parent, for being understanding, for living the daily struggles that autism brings on a daily basis. To be honest I don’t think I am the best parent, understanding, some days I want to give up on days that are just too much to handle. Gloria gave me hope, she believed in me. One thing that stuck with me, from one of our conversations was her asking me to never lose hope in my children, to always protect them and to remember I was their most important advocate. That I was to be their safe space. Gloria, I will do just that. I hope you feel the endless love and appreciation not only myself but many have for you, now and always. One of our last chats I told you, that in this world where more than 7 billion people are part of, there was only one Gloria, that you were that special! You still are, and will always be. You told me you’d “get everyone you knew to boycott them, if they hurt me”, I’d do the same for you. Still now. I promise to keep your beautiful smile and memory alive always. I promise I will be the best understanding parent I can be, loving, I will fight for them and always believe in their capabilities. Thank you for letting me be a part of your world. Rest in heaven, surrounded by the most beautiful flowers just as you are.

Dear de Jesus Family.
My Heart aches for you. 
The day after Gloria passed, I had this experience while Camping and thinking of her and the family.

“I found a fairy door in a tree. Spirits who want to be near me can Slip through them and keep me company. I don't often know  when they're near, but I feel how they help me feel calm and comforted. “

The world and the Southwestern College community will forever be impacted by Gloria’s light. She has touched so many lives and leaves a legacy of selfless service to our campus and fellow students and friends.  The first time I met her she was smiling and the last time I spoke with her at ASO end of the year celebration last year, she was smiling, beaming in fact. She was surrounded by some of her favorite people who adored her. I’m grateful to have connected with her. As a Southwestern College Board Member and lifelong resident of Chula Vista, I am especially proud and plan to keep her legacy going. I will work with my colleagues to ensure we keep her memory alive. Condolences to her family, friends, and SWC family. Rest in Power Gloria. 

I met Gloria at Southwestern College through student government. She was very welcoming and friendly. I apporoached her because she was was very vocal about being on the spectrum and I have a daughter who is also on the spectrum. She would always give me advice on how to approach different situations and how to care for someone who has ASD. She was a very deep and creative person, she always had a smile on her face. I really enjoyed her poems and her drawings. She would even post words of encouragement around the ASO offices for students to read. I am truly saddened by her passing and will never forget her. She was an amazing and inspirational person. 

Great was Gloria's ability to be her authentic self - open & friendly.

Loving to her family, friends, and school/work mates - she/we bloomed.

Outstanding clarity at seeing the world with her unique view.

Rare, deep understanding which she shared in poetic writings.

Insightful to make associations of her inner thoughts and feelings.

A true angel who touched others with her real compassion and love.


Glorious GLORIA! A life lived making a difference 
- we circle 'round.

My heart is so heavy and broken. Gloria was such a bright light. My heart aches for her grieving parents, her sister, her beloved brothers and her entire extended family. I loved having the honor of seeing her grow from a sweet child into a kind and gentle adult. My most cherished memory of Gloria is the way she always greeted me (and everyone else I presume) as we arrived at Lolo Willie and Lola Tita's for Sunday brunches. She always flashed her beautiful smile, followed by a resounding, "hi Auntie Lizz." She always made me feel so special! Beautiful, intelligent, loving, kind are just a few adjectives to describe her. Such a jewel, the world is a little dimmer without her. My deepest condolences!

I first met Gloria.  at SWCCD, as a ICC rep for the Clay Club .  She always had a smile and a good word for all she met.  In clay class and floral class, she would greet me with her smiling grin and a laugh.  I can not believe this is happening, she had so much to give the world, so much to experience and to live for.  My soul hurts so badly in the knowledge that Gloria is gone and we will never get to see the wonderful and great accomplishments that would be hers' and see what life would be for her.   Though I have only known her for such a little while, I loved her writings she would send me.  She had such a way with the written word.  
My condolences to you all, and I pray that our father will shine his loving light upon all of  you and surround you with his loving embrace, at this time of pain and sorrow, and help you heal this loss with time.


My prayers and condolences to the De Jesus family during this time.  May your daughter rest in peace with the Lord.

-Anselmo Delino


Your smile nourished us,
For Heaven's Garden you left,
Who will tend our hearts?

-Ninong, Ninang, Jake and Grandma Floring

Thank you for being the most caring, loving, and most inviting person back in high school. Life is not going to be the same without you.  I know youre looking down at all of us now. I miss you. Forever and always

Veronica

My heart goes out to you and your family for the loss of a beautiful soul.  I'm holding you in my prayers.  May joy-filled memories keep her close to your heart.


I always loved Gloria's poems, her words of wisdom. I always saw her as a beautiful person, and am sorry for her family's painful loss.

I didn’t know Gloria that well. What I remember is a very nice seemingly shy young woman.  She was in chorus when I first joined in 2013.  I will keep you all in my prayers. May peace and love be with you. 

Gloria, we will forever miss you. You are always so jolly, caring, loving, and very respectful to everyone around you. Your Lola Loly and I will miss you always talking to us in Tagalog. You are very smart and can speak Tagalog well. You are also very artistic. I love your floral arrangements and the headbands you wear that you made out of love. We will miss your beautiful smile and company but you will forever be in our hearts. We will treasure the memories you've left us. We love you so much and forever will.  God bless and keep you! From all of us, Lola Lynn, Lolo Rene, Auntie Judi, Auntie Joyce, Uncle Chris, Chiara, Andrew, Colton, Evelyn, and Ella.
