Mme Clark,
I miss you dearly. I love you so. I still have the card you left me at graduation almost 20 years ago now. I got through it tonight with no tears. I remember the days in your class fondly. More importantly, thank you for your kindness and compassion. I remember coming to class one day (independent study) and yelling about something that had happened to me that was deeply personal and you never judged me for it. You said, “well, Florence, that was a lot.” You came out from behind your desk and you hugged me. I needed that more than anything in that moment. You showed me the love of Jesus always. I know your family misses you. You are so dear to me. I wish you were still here to share with. I pray for your family and think of them often. Missing you always.
Love Florence (Angelina c/o 2004 WHS)

Glenice and I met at church some 27 years ago. The both of us shared a Norwegian/Lutheran upbringing. We talked of Norway, our extended families there and times we spent there. We spent hours together volunteering at church with children's programs, on committees and on council. When I went on staff at the church Glenice became my "go to" person for everything from teacher to certificate calligrapher and I could always count on her for a cake. We became good friends. I adored her. She turned into my mother figure here in WA and then into one of the best friends I have ever had. There was something special about our friendship. We just "got" each other, never having to explain things to each other, we just understood each other that well. She was so smart, funny and a joy to be around. She was kind, compassionate and loving. She cared so much about our youth. My son told me, "No doubt she played a part in my success today. For that I will always be grateful." We talked at least every few days on the phone or by text. We enjoyed each other's company and had great fun together going to lunch, attending a church service or swapping stories about our families. She delighted in her family and spoke so lovingly of her granddaughters and was so very proud of them. She met my mother and sisters years ago when they were in town and even remembered my family members that she never met. She never forgot my birthday. She was always so thoughtful and giving. She had always been such a rock for me and during her illness I tried to be that for her. I'm not sure if I was but I will say I did my best to be her biggest cheerleader. I am eternally grateful for the time, the extra time I got to spend with her going to her appointments. I got to meet her doctors, the techs, the nutritionist and the nurses who took care of her. As we would leave I would always tell them thank you for taking such good care of my friend. I miss her so much. I think of her daily. One of the dearest, heartfelt friendships I have ever had. My Dear Sweet Glenice...

Madame Clark taught me French at Washington High School. One of my favorite teachers. I remember her sense of humor best and how she brought the language to life. Our class for French 2 had a number of seniors in it with sophomore siblings meaning there were plenty of pranks throughout the year. Glenice handled the exceptionally raucous class with grace and humor and never a threat of punishment, earning the respect and love of the class. Recently she popped up on a Washington High FB post. It was fantastic to chat with her again.

Glenice was my foodie buddy. We tried meeting monthly at new places that she was responsible to discover, and she never disappointed. My daughter, Kaley, shared two things with Glenice...a love of french ...and her husband-who was one of her students. And of course she was his favorite I had the priveledge to serve with Glenice on SLC youth gathering in New Orleans...which I quickly discovered her sense of no direction. At least she had one flaw. We laughed as we were poured on day and night enjoying the group we were with, who were displaying their commitment to Jesus. She never tired...the average sleep was 3 hours a night which worked beautifully for my night owl friend. Glenice I will always remember your smile, your giggle, and the squinched face...you know the one...when she didn't like something. Glenice loved teaching, her students, Fred, her children, and just so you know, Amy, your were a daughter. And her grandgirls were her joy...always know she loved you, and was your biggest fan. You were the main topic at our lunches. She also loved the fostering which she did with dedication and love.I will dearly miss you my friend. I will always feel warmth and joy when I think you. My greatest sympathy for your loss Fred, Erik, and Sonya.

Thank you for sharing your wife, mother and grandmother with us at Washington High. I had the pleasure of having her as a teacher, and in an independent study in French 2 when the regular French 2 wouldn't fit in my schedule. She made a way for me to finish my second year of French (and put up with my horrible pronunciation). Her willingness go above and beyond for me has made me a better teacher, and I try to live up to her example by serving students as she served us. Many of us have left WHS and become teachers, and what she poured into each of us has become a Tsunami of influence over many students and will continue. My thoughts and prayers are that you find joy and peace in your memories.
Sincerely,
Laurie Bush Norris
