Uncle Glen held a very special place in my heart. He was always a kind hearted, soft spoken, gentleman. Every time he saw me, he would say "I love you" and I knew that he meant it. he was a very strong and modest man who took pride in his ability to provide for his family and to thrive without assistance. God understands! In court, we call that extenuating circumstances. He was a sweet man and will continue to hold a very special place in my heart...forever. Love you Uncle Glen...hug mom for me. ❤️❤️❤️
