She loved to ride and show horses and play the piano. She dearly loved her family, her friends, her church, and her church family, and they all loved her!

"There is no more significant involvement in another's life than prevailing, consistent prayer. It is more helpful than a gift of money, more encouraging than a strong sermon more effective than a compliment, more reassuring than a physical embrace."
I watched Glenna's spiritual growth take her from a "milk fed" believer in Christ, reluctant to even pray out loud, to a strong, Bible study, prayer warrior that she became, mostly due to the teachings & ministry she found at Trinity. She LOVED her church family, thrived under their teaching and care. Glenna finished her race well, I'm proud of her and proud to call her friend.
I'll miss you, sweet friend....dawn
