Dear Hannah and family,
I will never forget that loud bark when he wanted to get your attention at work nor will I ever forget the day he cryed with us when Lynne had cancer. He was a gentle man with a kind heart. We have been praying for you. God Bless!

There will be an empty chair at the holiday table this year that will cause you to shed some tears, but they will be filled with loving memories that will last for many years.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and always.

To the Glidden Family and Friends - I am truly sorry for your loss - Darrell was a great man - he will be remembered by me forever - from the late nights we all worked up at the border "when i needed help with some code# for clearance" to the long lasting horseshoe tournaments at the Northland with an occasional pool game. There was never a dull moment when he was around - We'll miss his smiling face and his wise cracks at the town office. I'm going to miss you Big Buddy - look over us all and kick us when we need a kick....... May you all stay strong through this time of loss - our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Peace and Love ---- Meg Welch
