Not sure what to say?

Hi, Bitzy:

We were just up to see Auntie Doe and she told us about Ken's death. We are so sorry to hear this and send you our deepest sympathy. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Bizty, I am so sorry to hear about a loss like this, God must of wanted a great angel to watch over his servants, I will always think more of you as a auntie! I love you all and take care. Tina James and Family and Williams Family(Barb and Kids)

To Bitzy, Jon, Brenda, Angie and the rest of the Glotz clan:
Where do I begin? Probably back in the mid 70's when your family moved across the road from us....
Your Mom and Dad needed a babysitter, and there I was...on those bowling nights..softball nights, etc. You three were a joy to babysit (now I am REALLY feeling OLD!!) I tried not to let you get away with too much!! HAHA!! Ken was a very special person (friend) to me and will be truly missed by all... I can say that I am...

Bitzy and family,

I wish I could have paid my respects today as Ken was a father figure to me growng up in high school. I still remember the time we all shared in Kansas!! You both treated me like a son!!! To this day, I still think of him as a father figure. He was soooo positive even when I put a whole in the wall in your house back in '88 ;-)(it was not intended)I am just two blocks away and here for you!!!! Take care and you are in my thoughts!!!

To the entire Glotzbach family, my prayers are with you. To Bitzy, I would like to compliment you and Ken on what a wonderful job you did as parents. The turnout today at Ken's service is a reflection of your entire family, and you should all be very proud. Jon, you know how to get ahold of me, you are a great friend and I am here for you if you need me. Puk

Bitzy and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am so glad that Judy and I got to spend time with you a few years ago.
Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
With sympathy,
Jennice

Bitzy and family
If a person knows even one person like Ken in their lifetime they are extremely fortunate. Bitzy, please know that we will always be here for you. Don't ever hesitate to call at anytime if you ever need anything. Remember we love you and you will continue to be our special friend. Ron & Eileen

Bitsy and family,
I've known Ken since the 8th grade. He sat next to me when we took our entrance exams at DeLaSalle. I believe I met him before you did. We never hung out together but over the past 40 plus years, out paths crossed many times. He was considered to be a friend and I will continue to keep him and you as such. Please rely and lean on your friends for support. Ken would have wanted you to. Our prayers are with you.
