    Patsy, I was very sad to read of Glenn's passing. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. I did not see the newspaper until after the visitation, or I would have attended. Take care.

    When you lose a loved one it is never easy, so many memories and so much love. May the Lord help you through these times and may you know that Glen is free of pain and with his Maker. God Bless you all and may the good Lord hold you in his hands.
