Glenn, my darling, my love and my life, we buried you today. My heart is in shreds and my life is shattered. Only with strength from God will I survive. I know that you didn't want to leave me. I know that God has a perfect plan and He needed you. When He called you then you had to go. Someday it will be my turn to enter Heaven and you will be waiting to show me the way. Until that time arrives, I will miss you every day of my life.

Lynn,

Your husband was a love-in man, who cared. Glenn will be missed by George and myself. He felt like family to us and George said he was a brother that he wish he had. Going to car shows and swap meets every Sunday. I love every morning Glen would give our dog treats to our 2 dogs when he got home in the morning. We loved being your neighbor and hated to move away.
Glenn will be missed by everyone.

Glen, I did not know you all that well, but what I did know of you I admired. You very successfully marched to the tune of a different drummer and forged your own path. You leave behind a life of excellence that few people are able to live. You will live with us always. I hope to see you again some day. God bless you and your family.
