Ardena, I was shocked when looked at the Flint Journal obituarities online and saw Glen's name. Bill and I always felt so blessed that we had great neighbors on both sides of our house. Anne on one side and you and Glen on the other. The first time that Bill went over to your house and introduced himself - he came back with something electrical and I knew then that they would be buddies. This is a very emotional time for you and your family and I want you to know that my arms are around...
