Family Eulogy
Grasp Things Firmly
A crash of something being dropped is heard…
… a synonym for excrement comes wafting from my mother in the kitchen
… followed closely by my father’s booming voice from his upstairs office saying… “grasp things firmly!”
A constant in mom’s life was dropping things.
Even in recent years the over/under was 3 or 4 as to how many items would hit the floor as she unloaded the dishwasher.
While mom made a habit of not grasping things firmly, they were just “things.”
Glenda did however have a firm grasp on what really mattered throughout her life.
Embracing Family and Friends, driving Faith through this Church, volunteering her time, contributing to those less fortunate and reveling in her independence, good health and love of life at age 82.
Mom’s grasp on life was self evident as in the end she traveled and sang in Germany with her church family.
Glenda had so much that truly mattered in her clutches that it's no wonder she kept dropping the little material things.
I thank you mom for being the clutz you were and showing us what is really important in life. And we the family thank everyone for honoring Glenda with your friendship, thoughts, prayers and well wishes. It is obvious that she will remain a sage after death for all of us.
Be Well.
