How Do
We Say Goodbye To An Angel
In Loving Memory
of Glenda Jones
She walked
this earth in human form but those who knew her saw her as an Angel. You
didn't have to know her for very long to feel the love inside her and see
her amazing strength as she fought for her life with emphysema. She
was a positive force in the lives of many and showed us how to smile inspite
of our illness and dispair.
Glenda worked
undauntingly as a Member of the Board of EFFORTS, She spent many
hours writing letters to government officials, newspapers, and television
stations pleading for a chance to speak about the need for research for
emphysema and other lung diseases. Her work was not in vain as she
was given her opportunity during an interview that aired on "For Your Health"
on channel 18 in Richmond, Kentucky.
She was instrumental
in setting up the first EFFORTS mini-convention which brought much needed
attention to the need for research. The convention brought part of
the EFFORTS family together to meet in person for the very first time.
We will
cherish the time we spent with Glenda. She was loved by all.
How do we say
goodbye to an Angel? We can't and we won't. She is still with
us in spirit and will live on in our hearts forever. Though she is
no longer on this Earth, she will remaim our Angel in Heaven as our "forever
angel".
