I was so saddened to learn of Wayne's passing. You have been in my thoughts with prayers for peace and comfort. I'm so thankful I won a silent auction a long time ago and bought one of his fern stands!! I've always loved it and his special touch.
With love to you all...
TOGETHER AND WERE ABLE TO DO SO MUCH GOOD.
SINCERELY, KATHRYN BOST

He was a wonderful teacher with a fine sense of humor and a great view of life.
Last summer I missed him by just minutes at the Greer's ferry cabin and thought next time to surely see him.
Every minute spent with Dr. Glenn was both worthwhile and fun.
We shall miss him.
Dr. Bill and Joyce Hayden
We were saddened to hear of your father's passing, and wanted you to know that we are thinking of you. Our hope and prayer is that you will find peace and comfort during this time of sadness.
My heart goes out to you and your family. Anne (Sorrells) just visited me and I asked about you. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
I was one of Dr. Glenn's residents in the early '70's. He was a kind, soft spoken and patient teacher. On October 31, 1973, my first day of private practice in Conway, I wondered if I could really do this without Dr. Glenn! It was his mentoring that laid a foundation for my 30 years of practice.
Our deepest sympathy at this time of loss. He was one of my favorite anesthesiologists to work with and taught me so much professionalism and caring that I still rely on today. He will always be fondly remembered and missed by everyone who knew him. May you find great strength in God and feel His presence at this time.
I will always remember Dr. Glenn and his sense of humor.
Truly, a loss.

I was shocked to see Glenn's obituary this morning. I knew him when I was an intern in 1963-64. I got to know him better this past few years seeing him as a patient. He shared with me things about his family as well. Earlann and I send our deepest condolences and pray that God will help you and your family deal with this unexpected loss of your husband.
I am so very sorry to hear of your father's passing. I sincerely hope and pray the Lord will comfort your heart at this time.
I have such fond memories of playing at your pleasant valley home and also across the street at the creek.
Much love to you and your family,
Julie Dabbs Cress
