I feel so sad at the loss of a longtime friend, since my teenage years. Glenys, so generous and so hospitable and a loyal friend, who adored her family. Always smiling and ready for fun times. Glenys lived her life to the fullest and thankfully left this world without suffering. Vale Glenys. You will only be in the next room when we share our memories in the years to come.
