Workman Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Glenda was a great neighbor and we certainly had some great times and lots of laughter through the years. She loved her children and was always talking about her grandchildren. I know she will be missed by all of you. She was a lovely lady. "Time cannot steal the treasured memories that we carry in our hearts"

So sorry to hear of Glenda's passing. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and a kind word to say. A very dedicated grandma, I knew I would see her at any kids sport or school event because at least one grandkid would be participating. Thank goodness for all of those wonderful memories you have. She will be with you always.
