To Bryce, Shon and family,
I wanted to reach out to you and your families and share my condolences on the loss of Glenn. Although I did not know him well he was a very good neighbor.
I had the privilege of renting my land to him for the last several years and he was always easy to talk to and get along with. He was always respectful and helpful.
I have just recently heard of his passing and was sad to hear that he is no longer with us.
Thinking of you and your family today as I understand his funeral is being held today.
Take care Rachel Haines
