, My prayers are with you, and your families. I am so sorry and feel your Loss, You had one of the greatest moms on earth!!!!
She was such a happy happy spirit. So giving to others. She was so proud of you all, and her grandchildren. It was an honor to have her as a great friend for all of those years. We really really missed her when she left Dike. It was always so special when she came back to visit once and awhile. She had an infectious smile. She will live on in you, and your Children!
I won’t be able to be at her service, I must be in Fargo ND and Salida Co. for grandchild and son in law graduation.
You have my greatest sympathy.

Our prayers are with you Bob and the 5 boys and their families. Glenda’s Mother and my Dad were brother and sister. I remember the day when Glenda Jeanne was born, I was only 6 years old. It was a joy to have Glenda & all you boys to come and visit us while we were living in Fl. It is too bad that we live so far away and will not be able to attend the services. I will miss Glenda and her beautiful smile. Our love and prayers go out to each of you. Cousin Beverly Long Bard & Roger Bard, Waynesville, NC
