My heart goes out to the Glenn family during this difficult time. I lost my father not too many years ago, and I know the empty feeling that it can leave. Know that the great memories and wonderful stories will live on forever as a legacy to Mr. Glenn’s great life. A special note to Tom – it has been a long time my friend, and I wanted you to know I was thinking about you. I am sorry that I won’t be able to make it home to be with you during this difficult time, but my sympathies and condolences go out to you and your family.
My prayers, sympathy, and love go out to the Glenn Family in their need for comfort. May God’s love and presence give you comfort. We at Cooperstown Community Church Of God have been blessed to have him and Charlette as a part of our church family.
Dear Charlotte and family,
I always enjoyed chatting and visiting with John and all of the rest of you. I remember a couple of times John and I had lunch or breakfast together. He was a good person and I was glad to know him and all of the rest of you.
You have our sincerest sympathy.
We’ll be remembering you all in prayer.
