Glenn and I worked together for several years, sometimes we had differences of opinions but we always worked it out and I found him to be a very dedicated and loyal raiilroader. My condolences to the family, especially Andy for he and I worked together at the Decatur, IL Dispatching Center. Glenn was very proud of his family. May God Be with You and Your Family.

Jettie, Andy & family, My heart goes out to you in your time of grief. Glenn and I were railroad friends for over 38 years. There were times when he and I batted heads, but there was always respect and our friendship to fall back on. I'm going to miss him ! alot ! He will be in my prayers. Phil. p.s. As John Henry Hall would say { In all kinds of weather brakemen stick together ! } so long Glenn.

Oh Jettie, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you and your family so much. Its only been 12 weeks since Todd was killed in an auto accident. Dont even know what to say to offer you comfort. It helps if you can find something to make yourself at peace.Im sure people will be bringing you lots of books, I just started reading them.Heaven is for Real and 90 minutes in Heaven are my favorites and brought me alot of peace. You just have to have faith that he is in heaven and happier than ever thought possible. It doesnt make life much easier here on earth, but its these thoughts that make it easier for me to keep going. I truly truly feel your pain, your loss, your hurt, your confusion, your sorrow. My heart is broken for you. I will be praying for you to find your peace, Jettie, and again, so sorry.
