Not sure what to say?

You are my fav professor. I miss seeing you around town

Forever missing you, Glenna. Have had many conversations with you in my head. Can almost hear your comments which would always be insightful along with witty. And as Cathe said, you would know. Similar wavelengths are hard to come by and I so appreciated yours. We shared so many different kinds of laughter through the years. Carrying you in my heart. Natalie

A favorite place of Glenna's. :) Coming up for autumnal days, Glenna; your preference after the humid summers. And perfect riding weather too.... ..... Many times conversations we had flit through as I'm talking to people these days, and if I suddenly smile, I hope it's some appropriate to the context...lol...if not--o well. :) You'd know, my friend.

Glenna, rarely a day goes by that i don't either think about you or laugh at your expected reaction to a situation or news flash....mostly the latter in the last year or so. OMG...somewhere there is Sunday Edition of the NYT being rolled into a ball and thrown against a wall, i'm very sure.

I will never forget the many wonderful, deep discussions and laughs we shared.

In cleaning out some old files I ran across my notes from the Industrial Sociology class I took with Dr. Colclough in 1988. I looked her up to tell her how much that class meant to me, and was saddened to learn of her passing. She forever changed my thinking about how workplaces are organized and the role of work in society, and affected the way I've managed people and organizations throughout my career. My belated condolences to her family and friends.

I was so very saddened to hear of Glenna's passing. She was my friend since 8th grade. Our love of horses, Red Raider, wonderful memories of our adventures and the zany things we all did, kept us dear to each other. While through our adult years we did not see each other, we knew we were there, just like we know the stars are there. I will always cherish that Glenna, Carey Smith and I were able to reconnect in Boston several years ago and continue the thread of childhood that we never lost....

I am heartbroken to hear of Glenna's passing. We grew up together and loved to reminiss about our wonderful teen years spent with the horses at Red Raider. When she was here in the spring we toured our old stomping grounds and and relived a bit of our past. We had grown closer again and travelled together over the past several years and were planning to take a trip again in the spring. This is such devastating news. My most sincere condolences to Rick, Barbara and the rest of the family. ...
