Thinking about you baby brother. You were so smart, a genius with a great sense of humor beyond understanding. We had a special connection then and now. I danced with you in my dream the other night. I am still enjoying you in my dreams as if you were here. It is such a joy to laugh with you and have good times in my dreams with you. I thank God for dreams and that I am allowed to see you, dance with you, laugh with you, and act up with you in those dreams just like we used to. You live on in my heart and in my dreams.
Eternal Love,
Karen

5 years already. It doesn't seem like it, it seems like it was yesterday. However, the healing process has become easier each day. Instead of crying, I smile because you left behind so many funny memories. We love you and miss you but we know you are looking down on us. Rest Easy Uncle Glenn.

Glenn(Otdo), I am dying inside, Old Friend. I posted a tribute to you titled "the Dynamic Duo". You are the brother I never had and I will always love you as such. The coming years are going to be very hard without my Best Friend/Partner-in-Crime. I love you, Otdo ... I love you very much. -- Kristien

I could not let this day go by without an entry. I know that Christmas was not one of your favorite holidays as you said you didn't like how your mom struggled to get what you and your sisters wanted; but I know you are in heaven smiling and having a good time with your mom mom this Christmas. Although its only been four months since your passing, it feels like forever. I have to constantly remind myself that you are in a better place now and I will get to see you again someday! I think about the times we shared daily and it helps. Merry Christmas!

I offer my deepest sympathy to the Blackson Family. Glenn was soooo funny and work was just not the same if he called out. I will miss Glenn and forever cherish the memories I have of him. There is some comfort in knowing that God had other plans for Glenn.

I remember when my brother Glenn was little and I was asleep on the couch. He dangled some piece of string or something and sat there and watched me smack myself in the face repeatedly as he touched my face with that thing. When I woke up he was kneeling down beside me on the couch laughing. I said what are you doing, Glenn and that is when he told me that he had been there touching my face with a string laughing at me while I hit my face as I felt this thing on my face over and over again.
Mom said that when Glenn was little that he got up at 4am in the morning sleep walking and got fully dressed and she said she caught him just about to go out the door to the bus stop.
I have funny videos of Glenn that are priceless. I have been laughing just thinking of some the funny things that he used to do and it feels good.

To the Blackson Family:
“Hear my cry, O Lord; attend unto my prayer. From the ends of the Earth, will I cry unto Thee, for when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For Thou has been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.” Psalms 61: 1-3

God Saw You...
by Author Unknown
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
The times we shared will always be remembered. Miss you deeply!
