I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Glass at Marshall School and learned what a comfort she could be to everyone. She had the gift of seeing the positive in every child and cared deeply for each and everyone of them.She will be missed by them all.

To The Family of Ms. Glass:

May the Lord give you and your family courage and strength to keep you going through this tough time. I first met Ms. Glass in my early childhood years at Steele School and then as a neighbor on Reel Street. She has always been an inspiration and was proud to see how the children she touched along the way became aspiring adults with children of their own. She will always be remembered for that beautiful smile and her gracious spirit. Take comfort in knowing thatshe is resting and you will see her again.

To Ms. Jefferson & family,
I am truly sorry to her of the loss of your mother. Just last week I asked a former co-worker how you were doing because I often think of you and your granddaughter Dana. I hope and pray that your faith and your loving memories of your mother will help you during this holiday season.
