Floral Bearers and Casket Bearers Friends of the Family In Memory Of Cassandra Glenn “As children, Vern, Lil Marion, and I used to suck our thumbs. Our granddad used to chew tobacco and he would spit the tobacco juice on our thumbs to try and make us stop sucking our thumbs, but we would go to the bathroom, wash our hands exhaustively, and put our thumbs right back in our mouths. Cassandra continued sucking her thumb until the day she departed. Another fond memory I have is when my grandma used to braid me, Vern, and Lil Marion’s hair. We would all go to sleep together at the end of the day, but Lil Marian and I would wake up to Vern sucking her thumb and all three of our hair would be unbraided. Rest in peace, my beloved. There will be no more tears in Heaven.” – With Much Love, Audrey. Dear Momma Today I awoke and nothing seemed strange. Little did I know that God would be calling your name to take a seat with Him and all of the others, to leave your position here to retire as my mother. I know you are tired and can no longer stand so come with me my child. here take my hand. No more pain, no confusion, be still, just peace but my heart is broken I have no words to speak. You were my everything, my world my heart and all its beats. You were my backbone in life, sometimes my headache, but now my grief. I don’t know how to live without you, the pain is too deep. I don’t want to be cliché’ and say “rest in peace” perhaps that is very selfish of me. There is a hole in my heart where your love should be, even though its there I need you to tell me just one last time, I wish I could hold you. I wish I was there. I wish I could tell you just how much I care. I wish I didn’t have to cry. I wish I didn’t have to say goodbye. I will end this letter because it is too hard. Love your darling daughter warmest regards…. ~Ken
