Mike, Jeff, Danny, Randy and Andrew.....My heart hurts knowing your Mom is not here with us! She's just always been there. I'm so sorry I won't be able to make it to the Memorial service. Please know that I will be there in spirit. I can still remember the day that Don brought over his sweetheart for the Green family to meet. It was love at first sight for all of us! She became family right then and there.......And when we got to meet her three boys (that would be you Mike, Jeff and Danny) they became family too!!! Don had surely met the love of his life and we were thrilled. I was only 11 years old. My goodness, Glenda has been a part of almost my entire life and I will miss her terribly. You kids are so lucky to have such a great Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma. I don't know that I've ever known a more wonderful lady. I hope all of the happy memories bring you comfort. They will for me. My love to all of you......Beth

Hi Andrew,
Our deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your mom. What a wonderful person she was! Our favorite memories of your mom were from the lipsynco parties she was able to attend and the fun and amazing time we had together laughing and enjoying the evening. Such a talented and kind person. We wish you peace at this most difficult time and happy memories going forward.
Love always,
Claire and Bill
