What wonderful memories of Glenna and her open heart to love everyone! I will never forget how she and Don made my mother and I feel welcome at the Newark Nazarene Church. Going on Work and Witness trips were especially fond memories. What a wonderful life here on earth serving our Lord but even greater, knowing she has reached her final reward in heaven!

Don and Family, We have not known Glenna long, but always enjoyed seeing her beautiful smiling face at church, usually sitting behind us. She was a
dear lady who will be greatly missed. We are so sorry we did not see that she had passed away until today. We are thinking of you and your family and extend our deepest sympathy to all of you. Keeping you in our prayers,
Ken and Connie Harper

Glenna will always be remembered for her cheerful smile and helpful spirit. I loved her dearly! She was an inspiration God sent to help me on my way on my path to follow Christ and to become a better person. She and I were becoming close-just as she and Don were leaving to go to the Christian College in KY. Her leaving about broke my heart. My own mother died when I was 18 and I have went through my life borrowing other people's mothers to adopt as my own-and I am very choosy! I stopped calling Glenna on the phone a few years ago as I could not get her to hear me. She was a great role model and I loved her dearly.
