Message from Janet Ritchey

Remembering Glenn on his Birthday today. A bittersweet time for his loving family. These words have always helped;
'You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he has lived.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
Or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can remember him and only that he is gone,
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he'd want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Message from Debbie

Mom asked me to print out all of the condolences for her. So im sitting here at work looking and reading them all there the nicest and sweeting things I have ever read! There all so very true.... Its been a week since we had to say our goodbyes to you and let me tell you this is not fun at all! I picked up my phone yesterday and caught myself texting you too tell you about that awful sleep study I had to do! Then that reality hit me again that you weren't gonna be on the other end to respond with a laugh about how dumb the doctors are and then ask me a million and one questions about what they did and said! i miss you more then I've missed anyone in my entire life this is a loss i don't feel will ever go away! People say that time heals all wounds but at this point I think that's crap!!! So I'm gonna print these out now and see you in my dreams! Love you always little big brother!

Message from Shauna

my sweetest friend.. you've been in my life for so long that memories smudge together as an all-encompassing stroke of kindergarten into adulthood. we played in tall grass on humid summer nights. we skateboarded in empty parking lots. we cut classes and walked through the woods. we listened to music, talked about books, colored murals on drywall, threw knives at dog houses, drove maniacally on back roads, rambled at each other into the wee hours of the morning. we experienced grief and displacement and wanderlust. we held each other's heads above water, at times, and always hugged so tightly.. like it was the last time. we imagined ourselves elsewhere, and we ventured out and then circled back. you have given me so much. i would not be who i am without you. rest easy, glennard. come find us again. <3

you were my oldest friend, and my wisest. you held my heart together when toby died. you never held it against me when i went away. you just welcomed me back when i returned. you gave me space and love (and huge, legendary hugs), and i hope i did the same for you. you knew me better than anyone and i can't believe you're gone.

From the day you were born you were loved by all. Your cute little grin just melted hearts. So, to say good bye after such a short time makes us all feel so cheated. You weren't suppose to leave us so soon. Now that your gone there is such an emptiness in my heart. I love you so very much. My nieces and nephews are as much my babies as my own babies. You will be missed everyday, every hour and every minute. Give extra love to all the family when you get to heaven. Kisses and hugs baby boy. Aunt Jane loves and misses you so much

Message from erica motter

I know that no matter where in this life or this universe that any of us travel, our little North East crew will always be linked together, so even though I miss you...I know that we are not really apart. We were linked together by something special, something that I'm having a hard time finding the words for ... but maybe that's because we had the kind of friendship and loyalty and love between us that exists beyond boundaries and so it cannot be bound to our hearts and to this earth by little things like words. I will always remember Glenn's smile and his laugh, and i will always think of him whenever i hear The Who and The Doors. But you know i had to laugh when i read that "loved taking things apart, including the family SEGA," because all i can picture is me coming home from work and finding you standing in the middle of my kitchen, with pieces to my toilet and my bathroom scattered around you. There was a leak, and dammit, you were gonna fix it. Even if it meant dismantling my downstairs bathroom, god i was so mad that day! Ah, Glenn....i can only imagine how much your family is going to miss you, because no one will ever be able to fill the space that you filled in their lives quite like you did. I guess it's like I've always said, death is but a doorway... and so I know that this isn't the end. My thoughts are with his family....Glenn was such a special person, I know how much you all loved him and cared for him - and please believe me when I say that I know how much that meant to him throughout all those years, whether he always expressed it or not.

Message from Jasmine Willis

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one. I did not know her personally, but I do know the pain of losing a loved one in death. What has been of comfort to me is relying on the "God of all comfort" during such difficult times. You are certainly in my thoughts and prayers. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

Glenn, you weren't just my brother you were my best friend. We could talk for hours about nothing. Nobody could go back and forth with our quick whit and banter. Who is going to text me random thoughts. You are my soul twin. I don't know how I am going to do this without you. I saw myself when I looked at you. I love you forever. I will make sure my boys do things in your honor. They will never forget their Uncle Glennard. I love you, your big sister.
