I am sorry for your loss. Rev 21:4 gives us hope of a time when we won't have to worry about death anymore.

Dear Mrs. Gordon and Family, we are so sorry to learn of your loss. May your many family memories bring you comfort. The scriptures remind us that Almighty God is close to those who grieve; "... He saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) Our sincere condolence to all of you.

Glen was my uncle. I never got the chance to know him well, but he had an amazing Star Trek collection and because of that I got hooked. I wish I'd had the chance to see him before this.
