Grandma if it wasn't for you i nor my children would be here . Every visit as a kid was well worth the 10 plus hours i would have to sit in the cramped back seat of the faimly car because i knew i was getting to see my beautiful, wonderfully funny grandma. I will always love and miss you..

Glenna always had such a great sense of humor (that's who all her kids got their humor from, what a crazy bunch they are) Just kidding! Laughter is the best medicine and I remember she laughed a lot and had a great laugh. She made me feel welcome when I joined the family and I love her for that. May all her family find peace and laughter in their memories of Glenna. Love, Sheila
