Friday, November 14th
Hello friends, Just a very quick note to tell all of you how very appreciative we all are for your notes, comments, support, love and goodies that have continued to come our way. We read all the loving and supportive messages to Glenna daily, and she loves hearing from everyone. It means so much to all of us to have such a huge circle of love around us. She continues to go through each day with grace and perseverance. Her nurses and doctors are amazed at her inner strength - but we have always known and loved that strength in her. She sends her love out to everyone, and as we have told most of you who call and want to see her, she prefers to rest and not have visitors most of the time. But we do tell her you want to see her, and a few very short, quiet visits may be possible. We always check with her first.
Please know that we treasure you all and the time you spend caring for the Kohl family. It will never be forgotten.
Love, MK

Dear Kohl Family - Thank you for keeping us updated.
We want you to know that we think of you every day and hold each and every one of you close to our hearts and in our prayers.
We also wanted to let Glenna know that Mary has an neighbor down the street, his name is Ollie and he is Mattea's Cock-a-Poo. If Mary is anything like Ollie, (we've been told most Cock-a Poos are) I'm sure her antics keep you all laughing and on your toes.
With love, strength and prayers,
Karen, Mattea and Andy Norton

I and my family have been closely following every piece of info on Glenna since we had the pleasure of meeting her. Being diagnosed with Stage 3 melanoma, Glenna is of course my hero and inspiration. I have NOTHING to complain about. I want you to know that she is my Hero and I only wish I could be as positive as she is. All our love, Jim, Maureen, Mike, Rosemary and Tim O'Neill

I am thinking of you all and send my love. Glenna, you continue to amaze us all with your courage and strength. I miss and love you dearly. I don't think that we got to tell you, but Lauren and I saw Matt Leach a few weeks ago! He was with his frat brothers and sadly did not have his drum sticks! :)
Joe says hello and sends his love as well.
Please let me know if I can do anything at all!
Thinking of you all.
All my love,

Glenna,
Though I have not reached out before, I think of you often. I think of how similar our paths were, both of us running cross country and lifeguarding for years.
You're a true inspiration and I tell your story to many. I can still remember that first day of freshman year sitting next to you in Mr. O'Toole's class, thinking 'with a name like Glenna (or Glinda as you were called!), she has to be sweet!' And you always were. Thank you.
Take good care,
Kate Klim (klate kim)

Hi Glenna,
You constantly remind us of all that is good in this world. Your compassion for others, your loving relationships, and your peaceful heart are inspiring. It is a joy to think of you as you "teach" us what it means to be fully alive and connected to what really matters---others. Please know that we are better people and teachers because our paths have crossed. You rock! . . . . and you always will.
love
Mary & Mike Gyra
P.S. A special "hi" to your bro ("Flapjack")!

I'm sending some love your way.

Your humility, compassion, courage and peaceful nature, through all of this is somthing that has changed the way so many of us view life, and the way we try to live it. You are an inspiration and a reminder of how precious and beautiful life really is.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jane wanted me to pass this message on to you....
Dear Glenna,
I love you and I miss you. Brooke let me know you were being taken care of by hospice and I want you to know that I am thinking about you and praying for you. (I even started going to church on Sundays – it's a gay-friendly church - so San Francisco!). Glenna, you are the most beautiful and sweetest person I know. I am thinking about you constantly. If there is anything in the world I can do, please let me know. I miss you.
Love,
Jane
