Rip Glenda. I will always have fond and loving memories as a child with Glenda and the family. There is a special place in my heart for her and for her family. Steven and Michelle, I’m praying for you and your families, as this is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry that I didn’t get to the funeral, I only found out yesterday and was devastated to know she is gone. I know she is with the Lord now. She such a beautiful woman. Love always, Jenny
