To the family of Glory she was a remarkable woman and one of a kind. She was a very special ;ady and will be sorely missed. She was a part of our family for a short time and we loved her dearly.

My most profound sympathy goes out to Karen, Matt and the rest of the Anderson family as you grieve the loss of your mother. Ms. Anderson was the type of mother everyone wanted to have. May God go with you all at this time.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom .Best wishes through this difficult time . Tim Gitch
I so enjoyed taking care of Glory while she a part of our Linn-Haven family. She had a great smile and a kind personality. She was so proud of her children and spoke of them often. She had a great sense of humor and would often inquire about the ‘football games’ that she knew were such a big part of my life. I will miss her warm hugs. Karen, Mark, Matthew,and Maria, my deepest sympathy to all of you as you mourn your dear mother. Please know she is now wrapped in God’s loving arms in heaven forever and is free of pain. I will miss seeing all of you at Linn-Haven. God bless you all. Linda Flick

To the Family of Glory; I want you to know I think your Mother was a wonderful woman. She was always a good neighbor. We had some good conversations over a cup of coffee.
