Glen and Family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Brett's youthful enthusiasm was infectious to all of us at Myrtle. Brett was in our foursome the day he hit the hole in one - Richy had a camera ... it was meant to be. We all shared in his joy - his first phone call to his Dad to share in the moment - the placing of his marker in the cup for closest to the pin. It was a majical moment that none of us will ever forget. We will miss him always.

To Glen,Candy,and family:
Words could never tell you how sorry I am for your loss. As I was told not that long ago If God does not change the condition,He will condition you for the change. These words don't mean anything right now until some of the numbness subsides and even then it's difficult to understand.
