With sincere symapthy to the family. Ms. Glyndon was very sweet lady and will be missed.
Jane, and family, I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. I did not realize she was your mother. She was the sweetest lady. I loved having “mini-conversations” with her during my trips to Wal-Mart. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Mere words are so inadequate at a time like this. Glyndon was a beautiful lady, loved by so many. She will be missed by many also. May God heal your broken hearts.
In Christian Love,

Heaven has gained an angel. We loved Mrs. Glyndon, such a special lady. She and my Aunt Sue Warren were such good friends. I loved to hear them talk about how much they loved the other one. So sorry for your loss, so sorry for our loss.
God Bless,
Tim & Dora Barnes
For quite a while,we have missed her in her role as a “greeter” – at WALMART. The picture you see here is the pretty smile you always saw. She really could not be replaced. Sincerely!

Dear Family,
You have our Deepest Sympathy. Ms. Glyndon was the sweetest lady. I have known her for years and she would always be so helpful when I needed to know someones name or where they lived. She was amazing! We always enjoyed talking with her. She was such a joy to be around and always had a smile. We missed her so much as a greeter at Walmart. God has given her a long life and now she is at peace with Him.
So sorry to hear of Mrs. Glyndon’s passing. I worked with her for many years at Wal-mart. She was a very sweet lady.She will be missed. May God be with you all in this difficult time.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Your Mother was the kindness lady to everyone, and loved to talk with me about her grandchildren, because she knew how special they are to me,too. You and your family are in our prayers. You all have so many great memories of her as you go through this sad time.
Love,
Kay and Jimmy Daniel
Jane, Guy and family, So sorry to learn of Glyndon’s passing. We used to have long talks at the bank about her family. Like all of us, she loved to talk about her grandchildren. I was always amazed at how she managed to stand such long hours while doing her job at Walmart. She was one of the few that actually greeted you at the door and had kind words for everyone. She was greatly missed when she retired.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family at this time. Love, Ronnie and Eloise
Glyndon and I were almost lifetime friends although I lived in and out of the area for many years. She was a fine person. Our dads also knew each other — old Howell families. She often called me and we reminisced.
Jane, Your mother was truly one of the sweetest and prettiest ladies ever. I admired her that she insisted on working so long and I marveled at how she managed to stand on her feet so long working as a greeter. I know you all will miss her very much. Praying for God’s peace and love to surround you as you go through this sad time.
It was always a pleasure to be greeted by Mrs. Glendon when she was a greeter at Walmart. She always remembered that I was the daughter of someone she knew but I always had to explain that T.L. Moyers is my father and she then remembered. She and daddy were friends. She was my favorite and I was so saddened when she had to leave and I admired her that she worked so long. Such a lovely lady.
It was with a sad heart when I heard of Glyndon leaving us. She had the most remarkable memory. I loved to hear her stories of growing up with my older sisters and brothers. She adored my parents, Uncle Martin & Aunt Lizzie and loved giving me insight to my family before they left Fayetteville. She always made a point of visiting us when we were in Fayetteville and so good to call and update me.
Thank you Jane and Guy and Betty for helping her through these last few years.
My sympathy to all her family, a special lady indeed.
Jeanne

We are sorry to hear of Ms. Glyndons passing.She was our neighbor for a long time.We always thought a lot of her!
So sorry to hear of her passing. Always enjoyed talking with her. She was one of the sweetest lady I know. She will be greatly missed. She has no more pain now. She is living with the Lord. We will keep you all in prayers & thoughts. God Bless You All. Willie C & Willow Deen McGehee, Mary & Teresa Partin, & Billy McGehee
