I wish I could be there with all of you. You will be missed Glenn. RIP

To the family, Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

To Glenn's family, I graduated with Glenn at Bohemia Manor in 1973. I would hope he would say to you all; Taste and see the goodness of the Lord. I was just passing through and now I am in a better place, no sorrow, no pain, and no fear. Start out bravely with a gallant smile. And for my sake and in my name, live on and do all things the same. Feed not your sad and loneliness on empty days. Fill each waking hour in a useful way. Please know each and everyone of you will pass over as I have, so live decent and right. With sincere prayers, Cheryl Ruley of Cecilton Maryland.

RIP Glenny!
