Not sure what to say?

I was shocked to learn of Glen's passing. I spent 4 years with Glen at our alma mater Cornell. I was so much hoping to see him at our upcoming 5oth reunion. He was a true friend and will be dearly missed. May he rest in peace.

You have my deepest sympathy. May good memories provide solace for your family during this challenging time and may God provide you with the assurance that you will see your loved one again in Paradise. (John 17:3)

Glen Hess led a great life and I shall always remember the famous Fourth of July parties at your home. Glen and I golfed at LaGrange, Butler, watched Cubs games together and my wife Patty and I will always remember our combined family trip to Maui
Vicki and Glen will connect again
May you Greg and Gretchen remember the good times

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your
time of grief. May your memories bring you
comfort.

Dear Gretchen and Greg,
I was so very saddened to hear that Glen is now gone to us. Such wonderful life-long memories beginning in the '60s in high school and continuing over the years.

I knew Glen and Vicki in high school and we had kept in touch via class reunions. My sincere condolences to the family.

I am saddened to learn of Glen's passing. Our friendship goes back to our days at Brook Park school from playing baseball on the vacant lots adjacent to the school, to his winning a dance contest on the TV show Bandstand Matinee, to countless good times throughout our youth. On December 31, 1966, Glen's dad, Joe, hosted a new year's eve party for us when all of us had turned 21. Over the years we remained in touch and seemed to run into each other at O'Hare airport or law libraries or….We...

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. His folks and mine (Carol and Bill Jahaaski) were good friends while we were growing up. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
