Glenda impressed me with her sweetness and bravery when I met her this spring to help with the HHS newsletter. She will be greatly missed.
Since I learned of Glenda’s passing, I find myself thinking of you and your family and how much we will all miss her. I am comforted because we are one of the lucky ones whose life was touched by this very special woman. I join you and the many others who will miss her, but I remain grateful still for having known her. It is difficult to know what to do in times like these. I want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Bill, please let us help you handle some of the many things that you certainly have to do or if you simply need a listening ear. I am a phone call away. My time is yours. Love, Peter & Jill

Although the Class of 54 is reduced by one, heaven has added one of the best. Jimmy and Jeanette

Dear Bill and Lynda, So many of us in Maine will miss Glenda’s lovely smile and caring ways. She was so witty and warm, and I loved hearing her stories about Italy.

Bill: Know our thoughts are with you. Glenda will be always in our prayers. We are so thankful that we got to see here at the picnic.
I know how little words written on a page can mean to you at such a time, but we still want to let you know that you are in our thoughts. Glenda held a special place in our hearts for as long as we knew her. She was extraordinary and will be missed. Sincerely, Bianca and John
Dear Bill, Please accept our sympathy for the terrible loss of Glenda. We hold you and your family in our thoughts. Jim and Marina “Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the autumn rain. When you awake in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of birds circling in flight. I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep.” –Northwest Indian Memorial on Death

Dear Bill, Lynda and family: I was shocked and disheartened to learn of Glynda’s death. She was a beautiful person and an outstanding teacher who will be sorely missed by her friends, colleagues and former students. I am certain she was a very positive mentor/role model for so many of her students and her influence will be felt for many years to come. I feel fortunate to have known her and to have her teach across the hall from me at Thoreau all those years! My thoughts are with you.
My sincere sympathy to the family. As a neighbor of many years, Glenda’s friendship was a treasure. I will miss her.
Dear Bill, Lynda, and family, I met Glenda many years ago as a beginning teacher at Thoreau Middle School. I will always remember her graciousness, gentleness, kindness, and professionalism. My thoughts and prayers are for you and your family. Sincerely, Rosemary Muldoon
Bill and Lynda, I was so saddened by the news of Glenda’s passing. I remember her as a warm and giving colleage when I began teaching at Thoreau so many years ago. My best to both of you and your families.
