Can't believe it's been 4 years since Glenn went home! Now in 2018, Lamont has joined him. With no more pain, I'm sure they are at Peace and I'm sure they are both surrounded by family and friends with a lot to talk about. With God's blessings to you Linda and family.

Linda -
I was shocked to learn of Glenn's passing, and only a few days after I ran in to you and asked how he was doing. I know there are no words right now to heal the pain, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Fondly,
