Life on earth is never long enough and that's difficult to accept, but we must learn to deal with it.

I will deal with it by knowing you're in a better place, that you loved everyone around you, that we loved you and the good spirit that came so naturally for you.

I'm happy we were able to spend time together before you were called home. You still had your mind, your humor and your family, which are most important.

Now it's time for you to rest, get comfortable and take care of us from above. Give everyone a hug and kiss for us.

You will be missed, but never forgotten. Love Always

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

I am only blessed by having a chance to talk with our wise neighbor Mr. Colbert before his call to be with the Lord.

There is a void in our hearts that only time and precious memories can try to substitute but nothing or no one can ever replace our Uncle Glen. He was the kindest, most gentle-spirted person that always had something funny to say and he will definitely be missed at our family functions. But God needed another angel and Glen was that angel. Our prayers are with you Sharon, Baldy, Tine, Frankie, Jim, and Clarence.
We love you and will miss you, Uncle Glen.

Love,
Vonnie and Family
