Aunt Glen may not have been my real aunt but she was really more then a aunt to me. She could always make me smile and was always a very good listener, I couldn’t put into words like she could about things. But I love her and Uncle Dale more then I can every say.
It was an honor getting to know Glennan and Dale during her treatment. She was an awesome lady with a wonderful sense of humor and a beautiful smile. The two of them always kept us on our toes. She was dearly loved and will be deeply missed. Her strength and fierce determination in the face of her battle was an inspiration. It was a privilege to see how she faced it with such grace and dignity. We are very proud of you both. Thank you for letting us be a small part of this journey. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and we are always here for you.
We are sorry for your loss.

IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE GROWING UP WITH GLENNAN. SHE WAS ALWAYS HAPPY AND DALE SHE HAD HER EYE ON YOU PROBABLY LONGER THAN YOU KNEW. YOU WERE DRIVING OUR SCHOOL BUS AT THE TIME. SORRY FOR THE LOSS TO ALL THE FAMILY.
Dear Dale, Scott and all the family
I was very sad to learn of Glennan’s passing. Words could not tell you what you both meant to our family. The children still talk about the time you spent with us in Cary. I just want you to know my heart goes out to you in your loss. God can and will sustain you in this time of grief. Reflect on all the happy times you shared as a family. Love and Prayers Joyce Sizemore and family
Dale, Scott and entire family, we want to express our sorrow in the loss of our precious Glennan. I miss her laugh most of all, it is one that cannot be replaced or forgotten. She had such way to cheer up everyone around her. We can rest assured that the absence of her body here is replaced by one much more radiant and glorious that is now with our Lord and we will see her again!
So blessed to have known a beautiful person named Glennan! Ben and I will keep all of you in our prayers. I love all of you dearly, and will love Glennan forever!
A friend that will be missed for her laughter and fun. She fought the battle with courage and compassion for others. Glennan will be dearly missed by all.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I have great memories of warm summer days playing with Scott and Tracy, while Glennan watched over us. Her joy and spirit will never be forgotten.
Dale and Family, Bill & I were so sorry to hear of the passing of Glennan. She will be missed by all who knew her. She always had an encourging word for others at the time they needed it most. Just to let you know that in your hour of sorrow you are not alone. Due to health reasons we will not be able to make the services today.
Dale, I had Glennan on my heart today as I drove to the Hope Center. So, I inquired of the nurses in the chemo room how she was doing. Well, my heart broke when I was told of her passing. I am so sorry. She was a valiant fighter, a courageous woman,
and precious to me. I will always remember her for her keen sense of humor and positive attitude throughout her battle. I feel blessed to have known her.
Sincerely,
Lin Cannon,
Hostess at the Hope Center

The funeral service was a beautiful
honor and celebration of Glennan. She was the best wife and mother i know of and I will miss talking to her. I got to tell her a few days earlier that I loved her as i do you.

Dear Dale,
Although I have not seen or talked to you in a long time, I have thought about you many times through the years. Today i was searching the internet for other reasons when I came across Glennan’s obituary, much to my dismay. Dale, I am so very sad for your loss and sorry I am just now sending you this note. From reading others’ messages, I know you had a wonderful life with Glennan and miss her very much. I do hope this finds you at peace, in good health, and enjoying your family and life. My sincere sympathy goes out to you. Take care. Blessings….
