Glenda and I were very close and children in Dominica, until we were separated when my dad took me to America. She was always a caring big sister who, along with our beloved big brother Albert aka “Abeyo,” took on the responsibility of caring for us younger siblings when our mother migrated to Canada. Glenda was merely a teenager during that time, and she never once complained about having the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings. Growing up with Glenda in Dominica, Glenda was always an academic who was very serious about her school work and grades. She was never interested in boys as a normal teenager would. She felt that boys were a distraction and hindrance from the academic success she aimed to achieve. Unfortunately, growing up apart in two different countries, Glenda and I no longer shared the closeness that we once had as sisters. But I will always cherish the childhood memories we made together in Dominica before we were separated.

I thank you for your loving spirit Glenda. Rest In Peace my sister, we shall meet again some day.

Glenda was smart, witty, confident, and a very talented potter. Her creations were admired by all. She created pottery at Inspiration Studios in Toronto.
At the studio her fellow potters looked up to her for inspiration and encouragement.

Glenda loved to eat pizza and KFC. She loved to shop and collect antiques.

I will miss her beautiful smile, her gentle spirit and our talks.

May she rest peacefully in paradise.

I still recall one of my first memories of Glenda. I was a little girl 4-5 years old, I was bitten by a bee and was crying unconsolably. She sat me on her lap held my hand and gently pulled the bee stinger from the back of my hand. Then she held me tight and rocked me back and forth telling me it’s okay Desry, it’s okay. She always looked out for her siblings.

As an adult she was a very private person but whenever I saw her at family events she would communicate her happiness and joy of us all being together.

A big source of joy for Glenda was her craft. For years she loved sharing her creativity by constructing beautiful, whimsical, functional pottery pieces loved by many.

Looking at her life, I am inspired to focus more on the things that brings me joy.

She’ll be missed greatly and will always live in our memories.

I’ll always remember weekends/ March break spent with my aunty Glenda and my grandmother when I was younger. We would go to the inspirations studio to help set up their art displays on Saturdays for sales or shopping at thrift stores. She was such an incredible artist and potter. I love her and will miss her gentle and calming presence.
