Not sure what to say?

When I was young, I rode on Slicks shoulders. It made me feel like I was the tallest man in the world. He was my cousin that lived on a farm and knew a lot about horses. I was a little "city slicker." I learned how to ride from him and how to walk tall like a man from him. He was more than just my cousin...he was a lifelong friend and one of the first role models in my young life. He has a special place in my heart. God rest his soul.

So sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you all.

In my mind's eye I can see Glenn on that hill at Aunt Myrtle's relaxing in a folding chair after working hard over a hot grill cooking something good for all of us. We are so sad for this news and will miss him, but we take heart in Joshua 1:9 and pray it will bring comfort to the family, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don't be frightened and don't be dismayed, for The Lord your God is with you wherever you go." With deepest sympathies and great love, Bill and Cathy
