I was saddened to see that Glen had passed on. It has been many, many years since I met up with him, but I do remember stories that my dad (Earl) used to share about him. He was my Great Aunt Rita's son, so we were cousins. Since Glen was related to my dad, I can vouch for the fact that he was a hard worker, and that he took care of his family!
Dear Glen is gone from us, but our love and care is still vivid, and he holds a special place in our hearts and lives. Ardith, Robert, and Nancy...you shall be in my thoughts and in my prayers.
With love from your cousin,
Merri

I had a lot of laughs and shared a variety of amazing moments in the short time I knew you. You were a great presence in life and you will be a presence in the hearts of everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you. Rest now and know that you will never be forgotten. My love and prayers go out to my wife and her family. Your Papa is home and no longer suffering. Carry him in your hearts and remember all the great moments you shared. It's one of the hardest things to deal with but come together be a family help each other through it and realize it's sad and heartbreaking but it will be ok. I am deeply sorry for your loss and I will keep you all in my prayers and may the Lord bless you and keep you.
