Truly saddened at Glenda's sudden passing. What a beautiful, compassionate soul she was. We were extremely lucky to have had Glenda as Courtney's first "para" when we moved to Nashua. Even making the move with us when we transferred to a different school. She was a genuine light in Coutneys life, and in ours. Her smile was always one of kindness, empathy and encouragement. She will be greatly missed by many, but the love always remains. Many hugs and blessings to her wonderful family. There was never a single conversation with her when she didn't mention her loving husband or children. She had a proudness about you all that she wore like a crown. She was truly beautiful.

I am speechless and so incredibly sad! Glenda was so beautiful inside and out, so talented. She truly was such a joy to be around. It was always a highlight in my day at work to visit with her in her classroom, during lunch or duty. Her energy and smile was contagious. She will be missed by students, parents and co-workers alike as she touched so many lives and hearts. Heaven gained a beautiful angel and you, my sweet friend from Thorntons Ferry School, you sure will be missed!
