Stan, Wendy & Family
I´m so very sorry to hear about Glenn I will always remember him playing as a boy with my boys Mike and Matt by your pond in Dundee. He always had an infectious smile. I´m sure he´s finally in no pain and happy to be with mom in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God comfort you all he will be missed.
