    It was a few “Glenn Essentials”, things he always had with him wherever he traveled.

    It included his favorite kind of Yellow Pad, like the ones we wrote all our songs on. Also a box of his favorite Palomino Blackwing soft graphite pencils. And there was a candle in a hand made container inside a small box to create instant mood in any hotel.

    I sat down and lit the candle and picked up the pencil and wrote this:
    Oh wow....so very special and so very sad............

    We're all still hurting so much. I can't even imagine how Glenn's family and close friends are feeling.

    Steve - Welcome to the Boarder. I'm new as well and I rather like it here

    Thanks for posting that FP. Isn't Cindy so sweet to Glenn s friends? I love the poem and hearing how it came about makes it even more special. Poor Jack - he must feel robbed.

    Aww. That was soo sweet of Cindy. It had to be hard for her to put that all together for everybody who was part of the memorial. I hope she's doing well.

    Nice story behind the poem.

    Oh FP - that's amazing. I cant imagine Glenn being married to someone who wasn't a gorgeous person inside and out. How special.

    When Glenn passed it was like my grandmother passing even though I was not as hysterical we all lost our innocence and when I look at videos from the 70s to last year and then watch the Eagles at the Grammies it feels so surreal that Glenn is gone it truly is the End of Innocence.

    Since Kris and Cindy are friends, I had wonder if Kris said anything about Glenn. I found this video of Kris talking a little about Glenn. This video is from January. I don't remembered if this video was posted.
