Barb, Lisa and Sherrie;
I remember well all the great times we had when you lived in Appleton. The couples bowling league. Always had many stories and laughs. May the Lord embrace all of you and guide you through this sad time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Glen lived in their house behind our home on Birchwood in Jenison years ago. We teased each other relentlessly. We had lunch just before he went back south. Didn't know it would be our last meeting but he is now with my parents in heaven. I am sure that my Mother and Him are going at it up there! You will be missed. Barb, I am so sorry for your loss.

Glen was certainly a critical team member at Hillshire Farm. Always thoughtful and pleasant to work with. I will always remember the infectious twinkle in his eyes. May he rest in peace.

Barb, we were so sad to hear about Glen. His smile and laugh will be missed so much by all of you, but he is smiling brightly with his loving savior. He was a great example of living as a servant of Christ. I loved the times I had with him, helping with the church grounds. Rog and I still laugh at the time he came in my office and said...hey boss, you know that 75ft extension cord you just bought, well I just ran over it with the mower. We laughed so hard. Loved him!!! Our prayers are with you all!
