Glenda had been on hospice for the past year and was very appreciative of her hospice caretakers. She had extra help at home, whom she greatly appreciated, and this allowed her to stay at home almost to the end.  She also had help from her dear friends, Lynn Gilmer, Mary and Gerry Crane and her friends at St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church in Mineola.
