So sorry to hear of Glenda's Passing. Our neighborhood has never been the same since they moved away!She was such a lively person and so much fun to listen to. She would get so excited about sharing her stories and asking her questions.She loved to tease and just hang out. Knowing she has been through difficult times over the years, she loved to read the encouraging books with scriptures that other would give to her from time to time. I found that encouraging. She had a lot of love in her heart and was always very understanding. Glenda and Doug were a sweet blessing in our neighborhood back in the good ole' days! Love to the family during this time of grief. Many sacrifices were made to make sure Glenda was well taken care of and comfortable.Your labour was not in vain. Love you all,Stock Family
