The memories Glenn has of hunting with Carol, Phyllis, and Karl will always be cherished and bring a smile to his face. Glenn has told many people that those are some of the best people he has ever known. My memories of Carol was of a handsome cowboy who always made you feel like family. Carol had quite the welcoming committee waiting for him in heaven!! Bobbie Lane and Shannon. I hope you find yourself laughing more than crying when you think of the great man you got to call dad! We love y’all!

Bobbie...please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved daddy. The Word of God has much to say concerning those whom the Lord has called home to be with Him. Please consider these words found in 1 Thessalonians: (The Hope of the Resurrection - And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died. We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words. - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 NLT) Please remain encouraged during this time of transition and I want you to know that I am praying and will continue to pray for you and your family. Love you much always...Essie
