Many fond memories at the Glennon's house in Country Club Hills watching Mrs. Glennon sewing clothes and putting up with all her kid's friends roaming in and out of the house, always with a smile on Mrs. Glennon's face. A wonderful woman.

To Kay's family ... my condolences and prayers for all of you. You, the Glennons, were a wonderful family at St. Emeric's. I enjoyed teaching all of you ... but most certainly enjoyed working with your mom (and dad). Kay was a delight as a mom, parent, and enthusiastic St. Emeric supporter. She reveled in you, her children, took much pride in your successes and worked so hard as an inspiration for us all. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend your mom's services as I will be singing at a dear friend's funeral. My prayers will be with you along with great memories. Love, Ms. Jeanne Bodnar
