So sorry to now learn about both Sondra & Glen's pasting during last year. We knew something was not right when we didn't receive their "Happy New Year" card when we arrived in Tucson, AZ. And no answer from our email wishing Glen a "Happy Birthday" on January 23rd.

Our condolences to the entire Bernfield family on this great lost to they
family. I remember Glen from my childhood, and the whole Bernfield family that was so kind to my mother Alma and our family.
