Glen I miss you so much. You have been the most amazing neighbour and I shall miss our chats over the garden hedge. You were such a comfort to me when Ellie & Matt were young and so helpful when my own Mum became poorly. Always thinking of others with such selfless kindness - I shall endeavour to be more like you . I love you dearly and will hold you close to my heart forever. Until we meet again. With all my love Suzanne xxxxx

We had so much fun when we were all together. The musical evenings with Rob and Bob playing. The shopping/chatting trips. Your chocolate fudge cake will always be legendary with my boys. We will miss you Glen.

Glen, known you all my life. You were my cousin, sister & friend. I will miss you greatly but I have a lifetime of memories and laughter. You were always there. Wimbledon fortnight will not be the same without the constant texts while the matches were on.

I have always cherish Glen as a very dear friend and colleague. I treasure all the memories of the service she gave to West Ashtead School, which meant so much to me, personally, over the years. She was such a warm and friendly person, loved by all the pupils who had the good fortune to come into contact with her. She will be greatly missed but will live on in our thoughts and memories.

A tiny bundle of joy! You made me feel so welcome and valued without question. A sense of humour which consisted of sharp wit and kindness in equal measure. A giggle was always to be had with you Glen.
I know how much you loved and missed Janet and I sensed you missed her deeply.
No more suffering now, you are free.
We will miss you dearly but take comfort in knowing that your suffering is no more.
We love you and always will, sleep tight Auntie Glen, Paul, Sarah, George and Lydia
Xxxx
