Condolences to the Family

No one was more supportive or committed to Lititz UMC than Glenna when I was lead pastor there from 1983 to 1996. She will be sorely missed.  Unfortunately I will be out of the country and cannot attend her service, but I pray you may be sustained by the resurrection hope that was hers in Christ.  Rev. Larry D. Leister

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Glenna.  We had the pleasure of living beside Gleena in Twin Brook, in Rothsville.  Gleena always had a smile and was very sweet to my children while they were growing up.
