Dear Glonek family, I saw the tribute to your daughter written on the rear window of a pickup in the Costco parking lot just days before Christmas. It had been a fustrating day of fighting traffic and long lines, but after reading of your loss, it helped me get my priorities realigned. I went home and hugged my 18 year old. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God's comfort be with you.
