Aunt Dutchie,Ronald, and Donald please forgive me for not coming I was trying with work and other personal problems I could not make it. My favorite memory was Easter with the entire famlies and hunting eggs after church. I know he is in a better place with no pain. That is what help me thru my mom's death. My prayers and thoughts are with you guys. I will always love all of you and always remember the good times we had in Alabama. The shelling of peas, playing baseball in the fields, and the walks in the woods. How did we know that was going to be the best time of our lives.
Love,

My heartfelt sympathy to Dutchie Lee, Ronald, Donald and the entire family at this time of very personal and deep sadness. Mr. Glenn is in a much better place than we are now. He was a very "special" person to me and my family and I know he will be missed by everyone that had the opportunity to know him. He was sure a favorite of Bill's. He was an inspiration to so many of his friends and family. May you take consolation in the wonderful memories of the past. May God continue to bless each of you during this difficult time. So sorry that I was unable to be there, but my thoughts and prayers are with you. Love you guys!

Miss Dutch Ronald Donnie, and your entire family, you are in my prayers, I know your pain. But there are enough memories of the cheese to last a life time, you know this, rembember them. My oldest one is when the road was dirt, I had cut my grandaddys grass, he gave me a chew of beechnut, I would have choked on the bicycycle ride home, if Mr Glenn had not have been outside and gave me a drink of water on the way home.
God Bless you all

My sincere condolences to Ronald, Samantha and the entire Grantham family in this time of sorrow.

What we all experience in a time like this is a deep sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. It always seems that our loved ones leave us before we are ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just death but that special life and our memories too beautiful to forget.

My prayers are with you.
