DCS July 8, 2022, 2:04 pm Glenna was always among one of my very dearest and and special long time friends. I was so happy to have Glenna along side me the entire time last September when we celebrated our 1954 Class Reunion. We had such a laugh when she related the story about not finding the "good dishes" for one of her family occasions. They found the clean dishes still waiting in the dishwasher to be put away. Glenna will be so deeply missed, but please be comforted knowing that she is with her Warren forever. Soar with the Angels, Glenna!
