I was blessed enough to know Miss Glenda through her kids, especially Kim, one of my dearest friends! As a mother my greatest compliment is my kids, so Miss Glenda in my book was royalty. There is no better group of people!! Love you all!!!
Glenda was as genuine as any other person I know. She was all heart and could light up a room with her smile. She loved all her family, and her children, grandchildren, and her great grandson were the center of her life. She loved them unconditionally. Heaven has gained a pure angel. Gaia Soto Amat.â¤ï¸
