I am saddened to learn of Glenda’s passing this morning. She was a wonderful person and employee when she worked for me at Cave City Nursing Home as hard working morning cook. I learned to use sign language from her smiling face. I was glad to have reconnected with her on fb the past few years. Glenda will always hold a special friendship in heart. Prayers to her family for loss of their loved one.
With love, Kathy Haley

She was such a loving mother. I will always remember her conversation when Lynn was in bootcamp. We were visiting and she let me know how she loved and missed him so much. We hugged when she cried because her heart was worrying about him. i let her know that Lynn would be fine and he loves his momma. I will be praying for peace and comfort in the coming days. It is an honor to be included as an honorary pall bearer.
