Sadly, my dear wife Glenda, died on the 6th of February, 2014.
Glenda was born In Llanelli, west Wales on the 14th of September.
1939. A happy early childhood was largely unaffected by the war,
but at the age of eleven she contracted tuberculosis and spent
virtually all of her secondary school years in hospital. At least
this gave her the opportunity to read voraciously and widely and
she later completed her formal education, ultimately achieving a
first class honours degree in English Literature from The
University of Wales. Cardiff. Glenda went on to enjoy a successful
teaching career in Penarth and served as a magistrate in Barry,
South Wales. Shortly after her retirement Glenda was diagnosed as
suffering from Parkinsona s Disease, but just as tuberculosis
provided her with the opportunity to read, so Parkinsona s gave her
the impetus to write and publish her work, initially to raise funds
for Parkinsona s UK and the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
Glenda continued to write poetry until the week before she died.
She had no desire to ever profit from her work, but I should be
grateful if you, the reader, would like to make a donation in her
memory to one of the following organisations, to aid them in their
research.
