it. No one knows sorrow unless he has been caused to
grieve by it. And there is no heart that can bear
grievances without the warmness shown it by friends.
With grateful and appreciative hearts, the family of Mr.
james Glenn, Jr., acknowledges the many comforting
messages, flowers, prayers, calls, cards, thoughts and
other expressions of kindness and concern bestowed
upon us during the illness and passing of our loved one.
May God bless each of you.
