So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

Dear Fortner family - We were so saddened to hear about Glenda. She was one of my daughter's favorite teachers at PBHS, and also I believe she graduated with Blair. Such a sweet and kind lady. Sending a prayer for peace and comfort during this very sad time in all your lives.

My condolences go out to the family and friends. It is never easy to cope with the loss of a loved one, but God offers hope! At Revelations 21:3,4 God promises that death will be no more. Imagine what a wonderful time this will be! I hope this message leaves you with comfort in the times to come.
