I was so sorry to hear of Glenda's passing. I always thought I would get to go see her someday but time has a way of getting away from us. I loved her so much as my friend. After my sister married Joel I would spend 2 or 3 weeks in the summer over there and I had so much fun. I had never lived on a farm before and she made everything so much fun, even working in the fields. It was a sad day for me when she went off to college. I knew I would never get to be with her like before and I was right. I kept up with her through relatives but it was never the same. I am sure her beautiful daughters had a wonderful childhood because of their amazing Mother. She was so smart, beautiful and sweet. Rest easy friend, I'll be along soon!
