Friday's with Glennis
I would call Miss Glennis on a Friday because it was my day to iron and I had more time to talk. She helped me get through the loss of both my parents. We would talk about life and its ups and downs. She would get a kick out of my stories of how I loved to use my swiffer. Joe and I will miss her very much. Our hearts go out to Rhonda, Paula, Stacee and Roger. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We will Miss you Miss Glennis. Our memories of you will stay with us always. Love you all. Tony & Joe.
