To Theresa and Michael, We are sorry for your loss. May your memories bring you comfort. With sincere sympathy to all the family.
I was so sorry to hear that Glen had been so sick and had passed away. I was a close friend in high school and after. I rode with him many times while he was in the service, dropping me off in Champaign when I was in college. While in high school I worked after school for Harold at Ellerbrakes. We lost touch in the 1960’s but Glen was never forgotten.My sympathy to Ruth and family.
Ruthie, so sorry to hear about Glen. I have to work tomorrow however you and your family will be in my prayers. Having been down this road recently I truly understand but we both know he is now in a better place. In God’s hands.
Mike sorry to hear about your dad! The archery club will donate a memorial to the Blessing Hospice fund. Once again so sorry for your loss.
