Ruth and family, Art and I want to express our deepest condolences. We always enjoyed Glen when we arrived at JR. You both kept us in the know regarding JR. Glen was always so up beat and positive. We are so sorry for your loss.
We are so heartbroken over this devastating loss. Praying peace and comfort for all of you in this season of mourning. He leaves quite a legacy behind.
Ruth, You & Glen were the first neighbors to make us feel part of the JMR Family. Glen knew how everything worked &/or how to fix it! He was always the first person to Greet Us, when we arrived at our Condo. We looked forward to getting his updates on the current JMR events and life in general. His positive attitude was contagious. It was a pleasure knowing Glen and you too, Ruth. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family.
So sorry for your loss, he was a great guy. RIP
Our hearts and prayers go out to the entire Richardson and Meyers families who have suffered such tragedy. Glen will be missed by so many.
