- Marie McGilvrayGlenna, in my mind, was the perfect nurse. She was one of my nurses during the birth of my daughter in 1986. She already had a reputation as having a mix of professionalism and kindness and also that she had a great sense of calmness and humour. The rumours were correct. My daughter has always heard about Glenna. RIP dear woman.
- Eleanor LamontSending our sincere condolences on your sad loss. Glenna was a lovely lady and a kind, caring and amazing nurse. Our daughter was unexpectedly but confidently delivered by Glenna at the Hanover & District Hospital. A story we still happily share. Bless her heart.
