Glenna McKenna – In Loving Memory
Glenna was the heart, soul, and voice of McKenna’s for years and she will be greatly missed by everyone that had the pleasure to meet her either over the phone getting McKenna’s info or in person. The McKenna boys will certainly miss her keeping them in line but she will never be forgotten. Thanks for everything Glenna – McKenna’s Driving School will never be the same…
