Dear Glenni, Beth and Luke,
I will never forget Sunday afternoons after church at the Bartels'. It seems like so long ago. I don't even remember exactly everything we did, and I don't remember why we don't do them anymore, but I DO remember the peace and love I felt just being in your home. You could feel it in every room. Not only Glenn, but his entire family had a genuine love for others, and for the Lord. I won't pretend that I have any words that could possibly heal the wounds or replace the loss you've experienced. I hope comfort, peace, and hope will find you. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.

Dear Beth, Gleni, and Luke,
Last February a friend of mine passed away from cancer after a 10 year battle. In her suffering Christ in her was perfected. The Lord gave me a picture of her dancing in a white dress just before she left. At her funeral her sister said she was wearing a white dress because she saw her dancing in a white dress also. Glenn may not be dancing, but then again he may. I know it is one thing that I look forward to. (Dell Jolliffe has promised to dance with me). Glenn is probably learning some wonderful new stringed instruments.
Glenn has entered into JOY Unspeakable and Full of GLORY. We must go on and plan our reunions with HOPE because the half has never yet been told.
Gleni and Luke--be something great for Jesus like your DAD.

My memory of Glenn specifically focuses on his compassion. Twice he included me in ministry to "the least of these." Once was when Glenn invited me to speak at the prison where he had regular meetings. (He would be glad to know that I now have a regular ministry of my own in a state facility here in Virginia.) And another time Glenn organized a memorial service for a man without a church connection--or much family, for that matter--and asked me to speak. In each case, I was impressed with Glenn's heart for the needy.
"You have done it unto Me."

To All,
We didnt make the service, but knew Glenn for a very time. We loved him much and miss him daily.

Dear Beth, Glenni, and Luke:
I recall all the happy memories when I think of times spent with you all and Glen, like just hanging out at your house more than once, especially my 40th birthday party, which you hosted, and an informal “jam session” with some other brothers in Christ. (Thanks.) I also remember how he and Jerry came over and helped me redo that gate on the side of our house over on Willow Street. I even believe I still have a little magnetic drill bit extension Glen told me to keep afterwards. That kind of thing really came out through Glen's character all the time -- he was always a very giving person.
Looking forward to the reunion in Heaven,
The Simmons Family

Dear Brother,
It was very difficult to watch you and our family suffer so much during your illness, There were times when I spoke with you over the phone and it seemed that you were not ill at all. I know now that it was your soul, your love of the Lord and your belief in him that strengthened you each day closer to him. It must have been so difficult for you to watch your family suffer. Your love of the Lord and your strength will always be remembered. We will all miss you very much but know that you are in a very peaceful and loving place. I love you and we will meet again. Keep practicing your guitar!! God Bless You.

Dear Beth, Glenni & Luke,
I am so thankful that God brought your family into my life. It was a joy to watch God pour into Glenn's life - His love, His joy and His passion for souls. Beth, you touched many women with your joy for the Lord as well. Glenni was a great friend to our daughter, especially during her time of illness in her teen years. We appreciated that so much. Luke came into the nursery school where I worked and we knew he was special from the very first day we met. In fact, I believe that is how we first met your family. Now, years later, we are so thankful for the witness of Glenn's love for the Lord. That message of hope will continue to touch lives for eternity.
Love and prayers,

Dear Beth, Gleni and Luke,
Beth you have been part of my life for a very long time. I love you with all my heart. It seems like yesterday, we were hanging out at your house even before you met Glen. I remember your wedding how beautiful you looked and how happy the two of you were. Life goes by too quickly and I am so happy that your family knows that, Jesus is the most important person in our lives. He is ALIVE. In my years knowing Glen he grew so much in the Lord. He said to me, " Where a persons Bible is underlined is where their heart is." He was a great person to talk to and truely knew that the Bible is full of so much knowlege it should be studied all of your life.
I pray that your family continues to walk and read and read the WORD.
I Love you, In Christ

Glenn was a real man of God. He was real about his faith. I always had good conversations with him about Jesus.
I also remember him teaching me my first chords on the guitar. He loved to worship and expressed that through his playing.
His legacy will go on.
My love and prayers go out to Beth, Glenni, and Luke. God has the best in store for you.
With much love,

Dear Beth & family - Call us anytime if we can help! We love you!
Glenn, "I can only imagine" ... You beat us home to the answers to all of our questions "why". Please give Don a hug for us, and say "hello" to Jerry when you see him too. Now we have even greater reason to look forward to heaven. We miss you.

Glenn, you will be missed. I felt Glenn knew God in a "down to earth" way. He didn't act religious when he talked about God.
Feeling good or bad he'd tell you and he would talk to God the same way. He reminded me that God is also our friend.

Dear Glenn,
You are such a special soul! I never met anyone quite like you: always content with what God has provided and willing to share it with anyone who wants it or needs it. I am using the present tense because you still are and always will be present with the Lord whom you love so much. We miss you here, but are nonehteless blessed by the life you shared here with us. I can only imagine the joy you experience now and the welcoming embrace we will receive when we see you again. Know that your friends are standing at the ready to help your family no matter what the need.
Love in Christ,

Dear Beth and kids...
I know this has got to be a hard time for you. We are never ready to say goodbye to loved ones, but know that Glenn's home now... and some day you'll be together with him again. Glenn's been a friend to me... I was thinking of him the morning before I found out about his passing. I remember how he taught me chords on his guitar, and helped me to play my first complete worship song. "Holiness" Our prayers our with you.
