I am sorry for your lost, may the God of all comfort, comfort those mourning and bind up the broken hearted.

Dear Joan,
Sorry to read about Glenn's passing.
My husband Pat Mentone and Glenn were the best of friends at Plasto Lamps. Pat was the salesman for the company.
I remember visiting your home when the children were small, I think you were living
in Morton Grove at the time.
Pat passed away in 2015. Yes they were such very good friends. I still have some art work that Glenn made for us.
A great guy. You and the children are in my thoughts and prayers.
Joan Mentone
PS If the funeral was closer to me, I would attend to express my sympathy in
person.
