I have been trying to reach Glenn for several months. I thought he had just changed his phone number. I did not know he had passed. We had been friends since high school. I will truly miss him.
Glenn, Shirley and Joe along with their parents lived across the highway from my family. My parents, Howard & Bessie Womack thought the world of the family. Glenn & Joe hung out with the Reynolds brothers. I was a little girl, but my parents talked fondly of them and their shenanigans. Prayers for the family.
We are saddened by this loss to your family, but, we expect there will be some serious hunting and fishing in Glenn’s heaven.
Stan & Sandee Davis and family.
Very saddened to hear this. I was Glenn’s pest control person for a few years. I always enjoyed hearing about his hunting and fishing trips. A great guy. His family is in my prayers.
Jennifer, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this trying time, you have our deepest sympathies.
Love, Tracey and Pete
