My heart was so saddened to learn today of the loss of one of the most beautiful persons that touched my life since we were in elementary school together. Glenise was always so kind and fun loving and our friendship was for more than 50 years. The last time I visited with her was about 6 months ago and talking with her was as much fun as always. Dutch and Erin, Glenise loved you both so very much, she is now a Heavenly Angel and will be in our hearts forever.
Many prayers for you both of you, your families and for God’s strength to endure the loss of Glenise that is loved by so many.
