Dear Judy, Pat, Glenn, and Mark,
I have fond memories of your dad and can hear his voice and humor in my head, even now after all these years.
I pray you all feel God's presence especially close right now.

We enjoyed so many years living next door to Glenn & Evelyn. We will miss them both very much. So many good memories of happy hours spent in the alley with Glenn sharing stories of his experiences growing up in Oklahoma & in the service. Thinking of the kids & grandkids at this difficult time & sending love your way.
