I found this photo in my mothers things recently and it was a family photo of you and your family, I remember you as a child. My mother Gisela Hale would baby sit you when you were a baby. I remember your mother and father and never met your siblings. The photo brought back memories and I thought I would search for your family. I wasn't expecting it to be this way. Rest in Gods arms Glenda.

Glenda: Although I only met you when you were a baby and later a girl I always love you and remember you, as Dana and Gina too.I was so deeply hurt when you left! Some of the things your mom says about your personality I see in my girls too, your cousins. Is a matter of genes I suppose.
I know you just went ahead of us and I truly believe I'll be seeing you again...did you already meet Mama Milla? I love you! Titi Tere

To my baby girl, Glenda, you were always a very special person, my "first spawn" as you used to say. ~:o)I can still hear your cry from down the hall when they were bringing you to me in the hospital, as if it was today. You have always made everyone feel special. Your intelligence and dependability were inspiring to so many. The individuality of your personality are unsurpassed. I feel you are still with us in spirit and are still influencing our lives. You were such a special little girl, young lady, and woman. You left us far too soon; but, your life was so full of activity and stress with your job, art work, riding your motorcycle and trying to be everything to everybody. Peace be with you, now, my beautiful daughter, until we are together, again. I so look forward to that day! I love you so very much! Mom Unit (as you used to call me)

By the ocean, she loved so much. Most recent picture in California.

Thank you to all that have given your kind words and thoughts. My special sister, my sunshine...I miss you so much. You were my sun, I was your moon. Someday we will find eachother again and I will be able to give you a hug, see your pretty smile, and your kind gentle eyes. I find it hard to believe that you're gone. I try real hard to always think of all the beautiful times we spent laughing and enjoying eachother's company. I'm trying to not be selfish and be strong, thinking that you are content and blessed. I will love you forever.

Paths cross for moments or lifetimes, and anything in between. Our paths first crossed 13 years ago and have remained intertwined crossing back and forth and running parallel. Both of our lives have changed so much over these years and it seemed we were coming to some of the same conclusions. Trust yourself and the guidance of the universe - believe and love! Now you are part of this greater universe, guiding us in spirit. You can now finish discussions you started with Chuck. I'll have to wait for a while longer. Enjoy your peace and freedom to the fullest! I will keep enjoying you through your children and grandchildren and hear your laughter in the breeze!

Glenda ROCKED! I cannot BELIEVE we are speaking in the past tense about her - the nicest, best-est IT help person in the WORLD - bar none! She will live on in spirit, in the hearts of those who were touched by her kindness. God bless.

To Glenda’s Family,

I met Glenda when she brought Dakota to my preschool class. Dakota was four years old and such a sweet child. He got that from his mother. She displayed so much patience and love with her children. I knew from the start she was a lovely person. We both worked for the Directorate of Community Activities and ran into each other often, she was always smiling and willing to help out with anything. I am sorry about your loss, she will be missed.

Take care,
Michelle

Glenda and I started working together almost 6 years ago. We met our first day working for CWMH at new employee registration. We joked about how we were the "old-timers" I will miss Glenda more than I can espress. I loved that lady, I'm so thankful I was given a chance to know her sweet spirit.

To Glenda's family - I knew Glenda for a few months from working with her at Colorado West in Glenwood. What a loss - but it's so good to know that she lived life to the fullest; I only hope this will help bring you comfort and help heal your hearts. I'm very glad I got to know her, even if just a little bit - she had a very sweet spirit about her. . . Karen
