Glenda and I were teaching colleagues in New Mexico. I admired deeply her commitment to teaching and the way in which she taught, with love and liveliness and humor. In fact, it is Glenda's humor that I most remember--she could entertain the world. And yet this delightfully entertaining and hardworking woman also had a spiritual depth and a principled thoughtfulness about the exigencies of life that taught me much. God bless you, Glenda.

Miss Cloud was such a special person. She was my teacher at Cornerstone Christian School almost 20 years ago. My friends & I still share stories about her. She always made learning fun & impacted our lives in so many wonderful ways. We all looked forward to going to school each day just to see her. I am grateful for the opportunity to know her.

I was in Miss Cloud's 5th grade class in 1981/82 at Cornerstone Christian School in Grand Junction. I have so many wonderful memories of her, and have wished for years that I could reconnect with her. I am so sad to hear of her passing. She was an amazing teacher. She was so joy-filled and full of life. She and my dad always had the same sense of humor and would make each other laugh. I know Daddy was waiting in Heaven to greet her. I will always love Miss Cloud and remember her with a smile. My prayers are with her family. I do look forward to seeing her again some day!

I was in Miss Cloud's class in & around 1983/84. She was my 6th grade teacher at Cornerstone Christian School in Grand Junction, CO. She was an amazing teacher who truly cared for her students. She took us on many field trips, had a "Spotlight on Me" bulletin board that we students would take turns bringing in important pictures, information about ourselves. She truly impacted all of our lives. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Miss Cloud was such a blessing!!!!
