Dear Bob and family-I just read Glenna’s obituary in the paper, too late to attend her funeral. I am so very sorry. She was a dear friend to my sister, Belva, and to me. I always have a laugh when I think about her riding me on her bike, taking a spill in the gravel on the side of Parrish, and skinning my knee. That was a very long time ago. She will be missed by many. She had a great laugh.

Glenda was one of the kindest and sweetest people I have ever met. Whenever I saw her, she never failed to make me feel like I was special. She had a contagious smile which I will always remember. Her energy and positive attitude couldn’t help but make you feel good about life. Carol shared many wonderful stories about Glenna she was a wonderful mother in law who enhanced my cousin’s life.
Thank you Glenna and God Bless you.
