Diana Griffin says
Family, I am so sorry on the loss of your beloved Glenda “NaNa” Renna King-Epps.
On August 10, 2020, angels gathered around Glenda and took her by the hand to GOD in Heaven. GOD did not take her away from you all; Glenda awoke in Heaven’s courtyard, free from the pain within. When you rearrange the letters in EARTH it becomes HEART. So know that Glenda will FOREVER be locked away deep in your heart where you can’t forget or lose her. DEATH leaves a scar no one can heal, but MEMORIES are something no one can steal.
It’s in the quiet still moments that the pain of missing her will hurts the most. When your storm is at its worst, watch for the rainbow because GOD’s light will break through the clouds and surround the King-Epps family with Glenda’s beauty and radiance. Rest forever in Heavenly Paradise, Glenda. We love you but GOD love you more.

April Smith (Ramsey) says
My friend, my girl, my sis has gone home to be with the Lord. WOW. It’s still a shock and there are no words that can express how much I will miss her laugh, her smile and our friendship. But we serve an awesome God and I know she is with her family gone before her, dancing for the Lord; smiling and laughing with the Lord, no longer in pain, her soul at peace and resting in her mother’s arms once again.
And to the family, remember the good times and the fun times that make you laugh, and cry and her memory will never die. She will always be with you, in your heart. God is your comfort. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted (Matthew 5:4) Lean on God and allow him to heal your broken heart. I am praying for your peace and strength during this difficult time.
Sharing in your sorrow with love and friendship.
Glenda, I will miss you my friend…
Carolyn Upchurch McInnis says

Sending heartfelt prayers and condolences to the family. I am saddened to hear this. Glenda was one of my first childhood friends. As little girls we walked home from school together, laughed together, played together and so much more. May God watch over and protect the family as you cherish her loving memories and the legacy of beloved Glenda.

To Glenda,
My dear friend. I think about the fun times we had in History class at Starbuck Jr High. We laughed every day and I think we even learned a little bit about history. Be well, keep smiling and keep loving.
