Sorry for your loss of Glen. I knew you and Glen and your dad, Steve, and mom when we had square dances at the Carlock gym in 1952-55. You and Glen were such a sweet couple. I was the 12 years old girl that called the square dance "The girl that married dear old dad". Now I'm 84 and live in Carlock. I know exactly where Glen lived and where the Denman cemetery is located. Praying that God will comfort you and your family.
