Every time I go to mountaintop, I think about Glen. I will always remember seeing him at the family get togethers. We always had a laugh whenever we talked and I miss that.

We just got home from vacation and read about Glen's passing in our back newspapers. We were shocked and saddened to hear of your loss and hope you accept our heartfelt sympathy. I will always remember watching football with the two of you, being with you when you first met and having you at our Wedding. We are so sorry we couldn't attend.

Glen,
You were always smiling when I saw you and we often shared a laugh or two. It is said that God has a reason why He does things and although sometimes we don't understand why.
I am sure you are happy being with your other family members now but please understand if your other family members here miss you dearly.
Love
Brad , Nikki , and Doreen
