Darla, I was sorry to miss the funeral this afternoon but wanted you to know I was thinking about Glenn and the family. I had an emergency this afternoon. Barbara has to use a feed tube now (cancer related) and was having a lot of pain when she tried to use it so we had to go quickly to the hospital for X rays.
Regardless, I'll never forget the days Glen and I shared offices at Eastman and played Golf with him. . He was a real strong character and influenced me a lot in my development from the start at Eastman.

God be with you and the family.

Dear Darla, Ondrea and Angie,
I am so sorry for your loss. I was Glen's secretary in the early 1980's at Eastman. He was very proud of his family, especially his two daughters. May the Lord comfort you and your family during this very sad time.
