Mary Ann and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Glen's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will never forget the days that the "Two Honeys" was docked at The Islander. I have always felt very privileged to have known both of you. Please know that God will guide you through this difficult time.

Mary Jo and family, I wanted to let you and your family know you have been in my thoughts and prayers. Although I didn't know your stepdad, I grew to know him by all you shared about him when we worked together; undoubtedly you loved him dearly. The obituary is beautifully written and certainly speaks to what a special man he was. With my deepest sympathy,
