Barb, so sad to read of Glens passing. Not sure you even remember us. Our kids, Dan & Shelli both babysat for you when you were in Kimberly. We often wondered where you were now. Thank you for having it in the Appleton paper. You are in our prayers.

Paul and Sherry, I am so sorry to hear of Glen's passing. I was just commenting when we could expect him to come in, and greet everyone in the business office, leaving laughter in his wake. He was a delightful man, loved by all. You and all the family have my deepest sympathy and prayers during this difficult time.

Barbara - Very sorry to hear about Glen's passing. He was always there to get a laugh out of -- and more importantly, a kind word. The last months must have been very difficult for both of you and we will think of both of you often as special neighbors!!
By the way -- an excellent picture of a good person and a real fighter!!

Barb, Sherry and Lisa, I can not tell you how much I feel for you all at this time. I am so very sorry for your loss. May our Lord and Savior be with you and guide you through this journey. That is a awesome picture of Uncle Glen. I have so very many good memories of him, always making me laugh and giving you that big smile. He was a good man. I do find comfort in the thought of my Mom waiting for him and cracking some kind of goofy joke that they can both laugh about. My thoughts and prayers are with you. All my love!
