I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. Tina, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Our family lost my dad last year, so I understand. I hadn't seen Mrs. Glash since I was a kid when she lived across the street from us in Glen Ellyn. My memories of her was how talented she was, making the beautiful beaded skating outfits for Tina and Dean. I also remember the elaborate Troll house she made, and how I wanted one for myself! It's weird what we remember as kids and how the people we meet make lasting impressions on our lives. Isn't it wonderful that when our physical lives end, our spirit stays alive through those that we encountered while we walked on this earth. Peace to all, Julie

I have the fondest memories of the special Birthday cakes she made "especially for me". They are all together now.

My mom was always there for all of us. Her talents were held for family and friends, the most important people in her life. I'll miss you.
