Camp had posted on the live stream this am that Glo Thomas had passed early this am. As most of you know, Glo had ALS and it got the best of her. So glad I had the chance to meet her. Rest in Peace dear Glo.

When I saw that Camp had said RIP Glo on the livestream I so hoped it wasn't Glo Thomas. I texted Donna and asked her to see if she could find out as I was leaving for my watch at the time. I too, am happy that I got to meet Glo on watchers weekend 2 years ago-she's one of those people that touches your soul and I will never forget her. :sorrow:

So sorry to hear this. I met Glo at Watchers Weekend 2 years ago, knew she hadn't been well but wasn't aware she struggled with ALS. Bill and I lost a dear friend 2 years ago to this devastating disease. RIP, Glo..you will be missed by many. :sorrow:

Oh, I am so very sorry to hear this. I found out she hadn't been doing well when I asked her if she needed a ride to this past year's Watchers Weekend. I had driven her to the 2013 gathering. She had such a great attitude. I always enjoyed her posts on Ustream.
Fly free, Glo. We will miss you. :crying:

Kathy told me the sad news about Glo's passing while on my Falcon Watch this afternoon.
I was so sorry to hear this. Glo loved the falcons and I am so happy to have met her on Falcon Watch weekend. She was so excited to see the birds she so dearly loved in person.
Rest in peace Glo. Fly free. :falcon2: :sorrow:
