She was a devoted wife, mother and friend whose advice, though never given unless solicited, was wise and worthwhile. Mrs. Glass believed in and had a lot of confidence in her children. She was prayerful, disciplined, optimistic, generous and firm but kind. She was a good sport with a competitive spirit.
