Marvin & Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Glenda’s passing.
If you don’t know who I am I fixed Glenda’s hair every friday for about 20 years, and enjoyed every minute of the time I spent with Glenda., she will be truly missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you’all.
Sincerly,
Cindy Howard
My deepest condolences to the Ellege family. Glenda and I shared so much for so many years together. She was always so full of spirit and was loads of fun. I really feel bad that I haven’t kept in touch more since I got married. Just know that I loved her and have many wonderful and fond memories of all the good times that we shared. With Deepest Sympathy and regrets, Jewel Deane (Moore) Atwood
Dear Glenda, how you will be missed. You use to make me laugh so hard that my stomach would ache for days after you left my house. We had so much fun when you and Mom would visit us on Lake Hartwell. The kids always laughed so hard at you. I sure will miss never hearing your laughter again. You have gone on to a more beautiful place where you will be in peace. I will forever miss you, Kim
To Glenda’s Family, I didn’t know Glenda very well but the little time that I got to spend with her and Marvin and Clara was very special. I will miss our monthly visit.
