As Frank P Fletcher's wife, we enjoyed a number of visits with Glenn and he and Frank had lots of laughs. I especially remember last visit at his home before Frank's sister Ruth died.That was a great reunion even going out on a boat ride. He was a good Christian man.

Our families were friends when we were children so I knew Glenn as a boy. He was a fine person. Remembering your family in prayer.

Even though we haven't seen Glenn in years I can remember all the fun we had as kids - he was always such fun. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of his children during this time. Susan, Mark, and Irene (Rossville, Ga.)

Glenn always found a way to make you laugh and offer that twinkle in his eye that made you feel special. It makes me sad that we have not had a chance in the past few years to get together. HOWIE and I would extend our sympathy to all the family.

I wish I could make Glen's service, but I want you to know that my heart is with all of you during this time. It is never easy to lose a parent, under any conditions! I always enjoyed spending time with my cousins growing up at our family reunions. Those times were some of my most memorable family experiences. Enjoy the day with family and friends and remember you will see him again along with your Mom by his side!

I will always remember him fondly. His delightful smile and sense of humor could light up a room. Pat Shue
