Passing of Carlene’s sister, Glenda Irvin.

Following is an update from our fellow OMSC member, Carlene:

“Several have shown interest in my sister's pancreatic journey. Glenda passed away yesterday [May 21, 2026] in Oklahoma City from a palliative care unit there. Many of you in our group have listened to me as I've shared some of that journey of her bout with this horrific disease. My loss is great but her immediate family's loss is greater. I covet the prayers of anyone who cares to pray for us. Carlene "
