Mrs. Glendon was one of the nicest ladies. I had the pleasure of knowing her when I worked at Serbin. She was such a good worker, and she loved her family so much. I am saddened to learn of her passing.

To the family, my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in the knowledge that “there is going to be a resurrection,” as the Bible confirms at Acts 24:15. “Do not be amazed at this,” Jesus assures us, “for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28,29) By meditating on God’s promises found in the Bible, may you find real hope and the strength to keep going. (1 Th 4:13,14) Deepest sympathy.

George, So sorry to hear about Aunt Glendon’s passing. She was one special lady who had a beautiful Christian witness for everyone around. She was beautiful inside and out. I know that she has been sick for a very long time. She was blessed to have you to care for her during these years of her illness. I feel very honored to have her as my aunt.
