I was so sorry to learn the passing of Glen Willams...
Glen was a wonderful Inspiration! a wonderful person and a true friend to us all!
When I was very young Glen would carry me on and off the School Bus every day when I attended Melbourne, Arkansas Public School in the 1970's...
Later on in the 1980's... Glen and his family along with thier local church would come out to The Easy K. Ranch in Zion, Arkansas on the 3rd Sunday of each month to have church services with the Easy K. Ranch Family! It was such a blessing to have Glen, Shirley, Jerry and Debbie to come to Easy K. and worship with us!
My Heart goes out to Shirley, Debbie and Jerry durning this time...
Love.

Jerry and I just want to say we are sorry for your loss and that we will personally miss Glen. He always had a smile and time to visit with us where ever we saw him.
