You have my condolences for your loss of your love one.
Glenn was a kind and gentle man whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with. My first memories of Glenn was when we were selected to represent our departments for the cover of one of the periodicals in 1977 or 1978, for the promotion of the1982 building fondly known as the South Pavilion. I pray you will hold fast to the pleasant memories he left with each of you. May God be your rock during this time of bereavement.
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your loved one. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah has promised through His son Jesus that our last enemy death will be no more. 1 Corinthians 15:26,55
To the Merritt Family,
Words can’t wipe away your tears
Hugs won’t ease your pain
But hold on to your memories
Forever they’ll remain

Sorry for your loss, GOD BLESS all of you.

Worked with Glenn at Yale New Haven Hospital for many years. He was not only expert at his job, but also, a truly nice man. You could always rely on him to follow though on his commitments, and often done with a smile. The community lost a beacon of professionalism and courtesy with Glenn’s passing.
My condolences to the family.

Right now, when your loss is so fresh, it may be difficult for you to imagine that this pain will ever go away. But in time the blessing of God’s unfailing love will soften the hurt you’re feeling and bring your heart the peace, comfort and hope that it needs to heal. How? Revelation 21:4 tells us that soon everything that causes us pain, including death, will be gone forever. We also have the hope of our loved ones being resurrected here on earth, as Acts 24:15 tells us. I do hope you find comfort in this.
Though I do not know your loved one, I am touched by your loss. My heartfelt condolences.
Very sorry to learn of Glen’s passing. I knew him from our work together at YNHH. He was a sweet, kind, helpful and gentle man who was always there to help in any way possible. My deepest sympathy to his family. I know this is a terrible loss for all of you.
My condolences to the family especially Glenn Jr. co-worker at Ynhh. I had the pleasure of working with Glenn for many years and shared a lot of good times working together. He was truly a good man and will be missed by his peers at Ynhh.
