“What an extraordinary woman we had in our midst. I am so thankful to have crossed paths with this larger than life human. So smart and funny and dedicated to helping everyone be a better person. What a guide we had! I've been in awe of her from the 1960's. Our houses were back-to-back and she and my momma became best buddies. You'd never know there was a 30 year difference in their ages. As a teacher, she inspired and encouraged every one of us. I wanted to be just like her. No better role model in the world.
The last chapter of our lives has been such a sweet one. She was full of joy no matter if it was painting pumpkins, stopping by the shop to compare the size of our granny square blankets, or telling stories (and she sure had some!). No one ever personally supported me more than Glennis. She was always in my corner. I could depend on that. I bet every one of us could.
I can only imagine taking up the loss of her by trying to be a bit of the same light she was. Trying to help others experience life with the wonder and joy she did.
We have our job cut out for us.
Godspeed, Glennis. I love you.”
