Glenda,
I am sorry this is soooo late. I miss you. 16 years of friendship was truly wonderful, I always enjoyed talking with you because you would always tell me how it is without painting a picture. Looking forward to seeing you in heaven when my time comes.
Precious Sister, my Dearest Friend; there isn’t anything that we didn’t feel free sharing. You are loved so much, by so many. And missed beyond what words have the ability to express. I thank God that he gave you those extra weeks. They are more precious as gold to both Clarence and me. You are with Jesus now, and I know that he loves you as much as we do, even more, if it is possible, as his love is so deep. So you are in good hands until we meet again. I give thanksgiving for your life with all of us. I love you my Precious, Dearest “Little Sister of mine”!
Mother, I will miss your wonderful smile, your kindness toward others that other people cannot understand. You were that unique individual that gave of her last nickel to the church & her last morsel of bread to the mouse, you shared of yourself & what you had with whoever & whatever seemed in need. So many people love you, I hope you can see from Heaven the lives you touched & what you meant to the ones who love you. Your offspring have inherited a bit of you, Evelyn your kindness towards friends , Amber your love of sleep, Patricia your ability at words to stop people short & smile, Alex uses your example of forgiveness, Brandy your knack for misplacing items & can't find them. Carmen is still yet to see, she said you are taking care of her Grandpa Verbeke & Dusty & Madison dogs.
Daddy is going to be lost without his best friend, confidante& loving wife. We will try our best to take care of him, not overburden or smother him. His grieving is personal reflection but his love for upi a public a show of total devotion to you, our mother. We love you with all our heart & will miss you sooo much, even though when I call you I won't be able to hear you, I know you will be listening.
Thank you God for allowing this beautiful, wonderful women to be my mom for the last 40 years.
Glenda was always someone whom I could talk to. She had a very easy way about her, and would always listen like what you were saying was of the utmost importance. We had wonderful conversations and she will be greatly missed by her children whom she loved unconditionally,and her family and friends who loved her unconditionally. My wish for her is that she will "dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
I love you, & I will miss you very much. You will always hold a very special place in my heart.
To my loving sister and an all around great girl, woman and mother. Always had a down to earth touch with reality and a loving devotion to her family. She will be missed but not forgotten by all who knew and loved her and others whose life she touched.
" Such a wonderful lady, and devoted wife and mother "
Looking back over the years and remembering some very special memories, may God bless you and keep you always in his loving arms......Rest In Peace
