I am so saddened by Glenn's passing.

Glenn was my first "boyfriend" at Columbia (I think we were maybe 12)? He was such a nice guy with that great red hair and freckles.
Even though I have not seen him since school when I'm going through my old scrapbooks and pictures, everytime I would come to Glenn's picture, I would always smile.
Cheryl I'm sure you don't remember me but please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My sweet Pheonix, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I am certain he was an amazing man because he raised an amazing daughter! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to learn of Glenn's passing. I am an old Peoria friend who moved away in 1971. Last time I was in Peoria visiting, Glenn was there too and I got to see him after nearly 40 years.
Since then we spoke by telephone a couple of times and talked about many things including our common ailment and we would cheer each other up.
I too am a cancer patient and so understand "the battle".
For Glenn, the battle's over now and he can now rest in the peace he so richly deserves. I extend my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

See you on the other side my friend.
