Dear Marilyn,
I have always held you and Bob close to my heart. Bob's humor got me through some tough times. You were both so kind to us when Judi and I literally showed up on your doorstep. I know you will miss him. He was a wonderful man and you were a wonderful couple.
Much love,
Mary Jo

I was saddened when mom ( Mabel ) called me last night and told me of your husband's passing. You two brought something very special to Oakland Baptist Church and I was always glad to have the Glazebrooks back for revival events. His love and spirit will be remembered. Always think of the good times.

Bob, We love you and will miss you greatly. You touched our hearts and our family. You made my dad laugh and helped him find his way back to church. I know he welcomed you with open arms in heaven.

Marilyn -
Bob was very special to us and he will be greatly missed. He made quite an impression on Troy's step-Dad (Clifton Hicks) when he was pastoring Mine Road Baptist Church. Cliff always talked about Bob with great fondness and I am sure they are laughing and joking with each other as they walk those golden streets. Bob had such a compassion for all of God's people. Marilyn, we share in your grief. Our prayers are with you.
