She was a fine, strong woman with a big loving heart - big enough to hold us all and make each feel special her whole adult life that I had the priviledge of knowing her.

I'm very saddened with the loss of your Mother. I worked with your Mom and have known her as a friend since 1973. She and I have communicated in these later years by e-mail and I will truly miss her. As stated, her family was her pride and joy.

I am very sorry for your loss.
Success in life comes from the number of lives touched.
Glenna lived her values, making a contribution to all she met with her kindness and smile. The greatest and most noble acts are the ones that are done when we think no one is looking. She truly embraced this with her dedication to family and friends. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Susie
