To the family: Glenda was a delight to have in class and was such a kind and caring person! She will be truly missed.
I also had the pleasure of coaching her brother in football and we all became of the best of friends.
God bless the family

Con and I are so saddened to hear of the passing of dear, sweet Glenda. Our sympathies to Richard and the family. We can only imagine how your hearts are breaking. Glenda and I were cousins, and I was also her seventh and eighth grade teacher. I always loved her precious, gentle spirit. Now she is with the angels who are enjoying her lovely smile, as they gather around the throne of God

Tommy I’m sorry to hear about your sister Glenda passing away. She was a very sweet girl. I hadn’t seen her for years but I remember her and you when Susie used to go bowling with me. Y’all were very good children then and I know you haven’t changed any either. God bless you and your family at this time of loss.
