Glenda was such a special person. She made me feel welcome when I started working at Craighead Electric so many years ago. She had a way to make people smile. Sorry for your loss. Carla
So sorry for your loss. You and yours will be in my thoughts & prayers.
Malcom my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mother. I found out about 2:15 this afternoon and came by the cemetery but the service was already over. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
So deeply sorry for your loss, Malcolm.
Glenda was such a beautiful lady, inside and out. She brought joy and laughter to us all. It is comforting to know that she put her trust in Christ, and we will see her again someday.
Kenny and I are so sorry we can not be there. Our prayers are with the family.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me… -Psalm 23
To Glenda Adelaide Steele Miles:
You were always like a second mom to me. I will forever remember all that you did and all that you gave to me...especially your laughter.
Love you and miss you more, always!
