"I am so shocked to come across this Obituarie page from Jones_Smith. I just moved to Fl from Ga and thought I'd check out to see if any of my class mates were on this page, My Uncle Rex had told me how to get this page up to check. Sory nobody around Hartford City had told me. I sure hope Glen is doing OK.. I want to let him know how sorry I am to hear this. I love you Glen. Take Care. Love Marilyn"
