    We have been in prayer for the family and our prayer are still with you. Glenda and Doug made us feel a part of the family at First Church and included us in many outside activities. We loved the way Glenda would light up talking about Troy and his Ab Lincoln role and showing pictures and we would hear about Lori and the things that concerned her. I know how proud she was of both her children. Her passion for her Lord, Family and sorority came through in all she said and did. She was a Great Friend to have and will be truly missed!

    Doug- I want to express my condolences to you and your family. I remember the first years when Iris and Dennis were married and we visited with you, Glenda, Wayne,Thelma,and Debbie. Those were happy times for me and I enjoyed Glenda along with your whole family. She was congenial and fun to talk to. The last time I saw her was at a shower for either Nikki or Dawn(do not remember which). Glenda was still congenial and happy. That lift of spirit I got around her is the memory I will carry. My prayers for comfort are extended to you and your family. I know you will need time to heal and adjust to her absence. May God be near as you adust to your sad loss. Reenie Koehn-Fast
