CHANGE

REST IN PEACE
GLENN V. SPENCER
APRIL 21, 1917 - JANUARY 15, 2010

At Christmas when we were home Uncle Glenn was put in the hospital Dec. 24, 2009 with pneumonia. I told my Dad I didn't like the changes that were happening in my life....Uncle Glenn failing, Grandma in a nursing home, he and Mom getting older and unable to do what they used to. He told me that I "milz well get used to it, 'cause changes are going to happen whether we like them or not." Well, Friday a week ago he called my cell phone @ 8:10am and I was doing hall duty. When I seen it was their number, my heart dropped. My parents never call that early unless something is wrong. It was...Uncle Glenn had passed at approximately 6:30am that morning from what appeared to be a stroke. My Dad was crying, I started crying because it hurt me so bad that I was there to hug him and let him know how much he means to me and that I hurt for him and I hurt for myself and I hurt for Aunt Dot, Danny, Tim, Doug and all the family!!! It was a very short trip in, seen quite a few family members I haven't seen in awhile. A GREAT SERVICE for a GREAT MAN.....Thank you Uncle Glenn for the memories....of sitting on your lap when I was a baby, of allowing me to ask tons of questions when I was a kid and as a teenager, thank you for sharing your love of the woods, steam engines, stories, music, musical instructments and tons of other things. We will all miss you, but the memories you have left us with will forever by with us and we will share them with our kids. One of my best memories ever is every time you seen Spencer, you would lay your hands upon his head and say a prayer!! I always knew Spencer would be fine in everything because he had the blessing of Uncle Glenn! I will cherish the time you spent with Spencer and one day I hope when I show him his Uncle Glenn he will remember those hands upon his head, praying for him. I love you and will miss you always!!
