Though we were generations apart,we were all close as family's should be. many had family's before i was able to get to know who my sibling's were.During life, we tend to grow apart but as we age we reach out and try to pull each other back into the cicle of family love.But some are taken to heaven when we aren't ready to let them go.Slowly we all go little by little but in the end we all end up in Heaven and reuinte as one forever and ever. Until then my big brother Bill, please tell Peggy and Mom and Dad and all the gang , we Love them and Miss them and we will Never forget them nor you. Love You, your little brother glenn.

Just me Brother,Some say time heals all wounds but i don't know,I think when one is faced with the loss of a loved one, that time is used to reflect back in time,so we never feel lost without you, instead we grow strong because of you.When you were here we all needed you by our sides but that could not be for you were just one man. You became a police officer so you could be there in times of need but still could not be there for everyone, God seen this and said my son i need you and you went.God knows how hard it is to be there for everyone and that's why he has angels.Brother you are my angel, and now you can be there in spirit for everybody who needs you and we Thank God.

I still can't believe you are gone. Every time I drive up Route 18, I look at every cop's face looking for yours. I saw this and it made me think of you.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too,
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
