I did not know her since she served years before me but as an AF retired nurse I think she will be honored in Heavan.

Glenna was my Great aunt on my grandfather Chandler's side. We always shared a love of genealogy especailly the history of the Chandler family and of the history of the eastern shore of Virginia. I will miss the long talks about the history of our family and how it was to grow up on the eastern shore, or over home as it is called.
Kathy our thoughts and prays are with you at this difficult time, and we want you to know that you are truely part of our family.
Love
Tim, Donna and Zach
