Dear Sharon, Jennifer, Emily, Natalie, Mr. Blue & Ms. June ~
What an inspiration your Daddy, husband and son Glenn has been to me and our family! He was such a faithful friend and neighbor to my parents and family... Pine Barren will not be the same without him. We all have such fond memories of playing down the street and going to church with y'all and these memories will be treasured forever. The sermons he preached truly touched me in ways no other pastor has, and he certainly made a difference in my life which I'll forever be grateful for.
We send you all our thoughts, prayers and love today and always. I will stop by next time I'm in my old neighborhood, but until then, take care of yourselves and each other and know your Daddy was an inspiration to us all and we will miss him.

Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength. We always remember the time him and Eli came by to show us the deer Eli had just shot. Glenn was so happy for Eli. Glenn will greatly be missed. We were so blessed to have him as a friend.

Natalie, So sorry to hear of your Father (my classmate and Christian Brother)going to be with our Lord. There is a song called "It's so peaceful in the arms of my Lord" and I'm sure your Father is at peace. May our Lord's peace also encompass you and your family.

Brother Glenn what a great man! He will truly be missed. He was always so kind and understanding to all the people that he knew. He was so kind to my parents and my family. He married me and my wife, in fact we were his first wedding, I remember how nervous we all were that day. Brother Glenn and God has a vision for a church in our community, with his hard work and dedication he accomplished this vision. Thank you Brother Glenn for all that you did. You will truly be missed by all.
Richard McCracking & Family.
