Nancy, Terressa, Gloria and Richard,

We are so sorry for your loss.
Glenna was a very special person.
She was happiest while giving to others.

We were neighbors of Glenna´s for over 35 over years.
Glenna and Charlie were so kind and loving to our children. They loved all the neighbor kids, treating them as their own .
After Glenna moved back to Georgia, we would keep in touch, and her conversations would always start with "Tell me what the kids are up to,"
I will miss our phone calls.

May your memories bring you peace.

Paula and John Holgerson
JP, Lynn-Holly and Kellan
