So sorry Glorie and family. We are thinking of you all.
So sorry for your loss Glorie. I have great memories growing up with Lynn. His Mom was my fifth grade teacher and I spent quite a bit of time at their home. Praying for comfort and peace for your family.
So sorry for your loss Glorie and boys!
Glorie and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. We are thinking of you all!
