Even with all the heartache and scrutiny they endured, Tanya always had a place in her heart for Glen. 
She says, I’m just devastated. Absolutely devastated. It’s been so hard these past several years knowing what he’s been going through. My heart just breaks. Glen and I shared some incredible, precious memories together for a long time. There were some ups and downs and, of course, all the downs were played out in the press. We both got past all that. Forgiveness is a wonderful thing."
Tanya has released "Forever Loving You"-- a song she wrote for Glen. Proceeds from the song will go to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America.
