You have our deepest sympathy, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
My deepest sympathy to Glenn and Family on the loss of Glenda. We were classmates at Moline Public Hospital School of Nursing. I was able to chat with her about our nursing reunion held in September and enjoyed talking with her. She went through a lot of suffering with her aneurysm, but God and all of you were with her. Now she is waiting for us in Heaven. May she rest in peace! God bless all of you! Love and prayers, Mary Stohl Pellizzari
