I just today learned of Glenda's passing, and I am broken hearted. I was her college roommate at SHSU. We became very close while we were there. I ran into her at a track meet when we were teaching school, and lost track of her after that. I just recently got back in touch with her after searching on FB. I intended to come to visit her this summer, and today I realized I hadn't heard from her in quite awhile. I loved Glenda. She was a wonderful person, and it gives me joy to see how much she meant to her students, friends and family. My condolences to her family. Know that she is loved by me and that I will miss "seeing" her everyday on FB. God bless you.

I taught in Evadale from 1974-1982. My room was next door to Glenda's room. She was always so kind and friendly and helpful and to a new teacher that meant a great deal. I always enjoyed being around Glenda. In the past few years we reconnected on FB and I enjoyed talking to her from time to time and watching her enjoy life. I was devastated when I read about her passing. A kind and dear friend has passed on to heaven. I want Glenda's family to know what a happy and kind person she was to everyone. I'm a better person for having known Glenda.

Just found out today that Glenda has passed away and I am so sorry for your lose. Glenda and I went to school together for 12 years at Clute. We would spend the night with each other growing up. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. She made me a better person just by knowing her. So sorry for your lose and time does have a way of making it easier. God bless all of you.

I came to Evadale school at the beginning of 7th grade. Mrs. Gray was one of my first teachers. She taught me English. I loved her then and 20 years later when she taught my daughter. She made such a precious difference in so many lives. I will never forget her. I love you Mrs. Gray.

I became friends with your Mother when we were in the 6th grade at Clute. I also share the name Glenda with her, and was also a teacher for 35 years. We were friends throughout H.S. at Brazosport where we graduated in 1960. I used to love to hang out at school with her and Carolyn Carroll. They always made me laugh and feel good just to be around them. We did not stay in contact after H.S. and I had just recently reconnected with her on FB. I enjoyed the messages we shared and seeing her posts. I will miss hearing about her and her family and students. It is obvious that she has touched so many lives in a positive way. She touched mine with her loving heart and kind personality for the first time over 62 years ago. I will not forget her. Prayers for peace, comfort and strength to all who loved her.
