Glenna was one of the sweetest women that I knew. A very sincere person that loved her family and friends immensely. She will be missed by many.
My prayers and thoughts go out to her family. She is now in Heaven and in the hands of angels. The Lord is awaiting her arrival.
May God Bless all of her friends and those that knew her.
I will miss my dear friend tremendously. She was a kind, selfless, incredible lady. I will miss her sweet smile and her tender words of wisdom. I will miss the way her eyes would light up as she talked about her family. Her struggles on earth are over and I am so fortunate that our paths have crossed. Thank you God for making this amazing lady a part of my life. Forever in my heart! ❤️
Glenna was an angel on earth. She now soars in heaven and lives on in the hearts and memories of those blessed to have known her. I will miss you dearly my friend!
I’m so very sad to hear of Glenna’s passing. She was always such a joy to work with, very sweet and kind and always had a smile. May she rest in peace.
We are so sad to hear about the loss of your Mom, Mother-in-law and Grandma. Without having the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Alland, we did have a wonderful weekend with Shawn, Ange and Emily. We can certainly relate to your family and friends’ messages. Anytime Emily mentioned her childhood memories and recent times with her grandmother her smile says it all.
Love to your family, Gail and Bob
I was so very sad to hear of Glenna’s death. She and I are second cousins. We spoke on the phone most every week. I will miss those calls. We shared a love of genealogy and spend hours searching and talking about our ancestors, both on paper and in the Ashtabula County cemeteries. May you rest in peace, Glenna.
I am so sad about Glenna, and my heart goes out to
her daughters, family and friends.
In her youth, Glenna worked alongside my Dad in his dental office
and throughout her life, she was a dear and trusted friend to our family.
She knew and understood my parents better
than anyone. Both my parents are gone to heaven now,
and as I look at their photo,
I believe they will be two of the many friends
and family already in heaven who
will be there to support her.
Glenna was the sweetest and kindest
person I ever knew, she was filled to overflowing with goodness,
and understanding, with her caring for humanity
and her love and pride in her kids and grandkids.
Why the Lord has to take the best of the best, and too soon, we will never
understand. I must believe God needs her to do something
only she can do. Only she, with her deep well of compassion,
can do. But this doesn’t make it any easier
for those who are left here to love and miss her so.
My heart goes to Angie and Gina and all the family
and friends, with prayers for all the broken hearts to be mended
with her love above.

I had the opportunity to work with your Mom, always so kind and caring. I’m so sorry for your loss.
