Glennis had such a positive impact on my life. She was like my best friend. The age difference didn't matter. We had a really strong connection almost from the first day I met her about a year and half ago. She always told me I can do it. No matter what it was, she believed in me like no one else had. I dont think she even knew how much she taught me. Part of the reason I am the person I am today is because of Glennis, her encouragement and her two wonderful daughters, Netta and Susie. And I am so thankful to of met all of them. I will never, ever forget Glennis. She was always appreciative of everything I ever did for her. I dont think there are words that can say how much Glennis really meant to me. She is greatly missed. And will always be.
