May your heart and soul find peace and comfort.
Glenn attended Trinity United Methodist Church for some of our Sunday worship services this year, along with his friends and fellow veterans. He enjoyed singing the hymns with us in the service and shared a special hymn with me one day that he knew and loved. His faith was exemplary and shone through all he said and did. We are glad he worshipped with us and will always remember him. Now he knows the joys of heaven, the love of God that surpasses all. God rest his soul, now and always.

My Sincerest condolences to Glenn’s family and friends in this very difficult time. Glenn was a client of mine for the past 12 years up until his passing, and over countless conversations and meetings, became a very dear friend. I hold him in the highest respects as a Veteran for serving our country, and for being a great man whom always kept his word. It was a pleasure to work for him these past years, and I miss him very much. God speed my dear friend.
