"I am so very sorry to hear this. I am sure going to miss Glen at the store. Prayers to the family. "
"My deepest sympathy to the family. May they find comfort in our Heavenly Father."
"Glen and I were shirt-tail relation (through the Mesecks). Gerri was more into family history than Glen, I think, but we were glad to claim her, too! Our sympathies to her children and grandchildren. Pretty soon his generation will be totally gone, which bumps the rest of us up to the head of the line! Renee and Butch Miller"
