Joanie and Family,
Sorry to hear about your dads passing. Our thoughts are with you all.
Casey Phalen says
Even though I dont know Glens family I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Glen. I worked with Glen in the Hospital and the nursing home. I enjoyed looking at his pictures he had of you all. God Bless.

I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Glen. May you be comforted by the promise of the resurrection and the knowledge that soon death will be no more and never again will we have to bury our loved ones. God makes this wonderful promise to us at Isaiah 25:8 where it states that he will “swallow up death forever.” I hope this message is of some consolation.
