To the Family of Mrs. Glover. The Williams family of Roanoke, Va( Delores, Margie, Sally, Malcolm and Ron wishes to express our sincere sympathy to your family. Mrs. Glover was a friend of our mother and we felt she knew us all as if we were her own. From the days of Patton Ave and Wells Ave in the old ":hood" everyone always asked about "Mrs. Glover" and she asked about us--as Beryl would remind us whenever she came to town. Rest in Peace Mrs. Glover.
