Saying goodbye to my brother and best friend for 50 years is heartbreaking. I pray Glynn Jr, Tammy, Krystal Aldon and the entire James family find comfort in all the special memories we shared with Glynn, I believe that tears can heal, memories can comfort, and love lives on forever. May GOD comfort and strengthen family, this is my prayer.
