Glena was my half aunt, I’m sorry to say I only talked with her once many years ago to let her know my mother her half sister died, Louise Ann “Knowles” Andrews. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Glenda was my first guide to retail in Lanaster. She shared poetry, calligraphy, beautiful jewelry and basic common sense advice. I will always remember her kind smile. God be with you all.
