My sympathy on the death of William Glassner. I came across his death notice while doing some research on the descendants of Emanuel Rich of Pentwater, Michigan, who I believe is a common ancestor.

Dear Carol and Family, During this time of sorrow may you find comfort in the warmth shared by your friends and loved ones. No lone can know the ways of eternity or understand when those we love leave this earth too soon, before we are ready to say good bye. But you can be sure of this that you are in the thoughts of those who care for you.If it were possible for one short hour to see the souls we love, that they might tell us what and where they be. They live now in every wondrous thing you see and their love surrounds you still. Hoping and praying you feel our love at this time. Mike & Lucy
