Gail I am so sorry to learn of Glenn’s passing. My prayers and thoughts are with you. He was truly a gentle giant with an infectious smile and a kind heart. He will be sorely missed. Bud
Glenn was one of the finest men I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. The Jones family extends its sympathies to Gail and the rest of the Guy family.
Gail, we sympathize in your loss and know you will miss Glen but can be comforted by the fact that he is no longer in pain and is with his Lord whom he so graciously served.
Gail, I regret your loss of Glenn. I worked with Glenn several years at the same post office. He was a fine person and co-worker. I’m sure he is in no more pain. Jesus Christ will be with him.
Please accept my sympathy at your loss of Mr. Guy, the death of a loved one is a terrible thing to bear. May you find comfort for your hearts in God’s Holy Word. There He speaks to us giving us words of Hope when it seems we have none. May you speak to Him in through prayer for strength during this difficult time. Meditating on these passages have brought me solace when I have suffered loss, I pray they will do the same for you.’ Isaiah 33:24, 1 Corinthians 15:26, Mark 10:27
Our hearts go out to you Gail and will always remember our friend Glenn with smiles on our faces! The visits we had and the laughs we shared will always be remembered!~ I will never forget the first time Glen, Michael and I jumped in the lake on New Year’s eve! I said I was and Glenn knew he was going to as well!!! So many fun times we shared but mostly we remember us sharing the Love of Jesus together! Hugs to you my sweet friend. Lyn and Michael
Please accept our deepest heartfelt condolences at your loss of Glenn. My heart hurts for you as I also lost my life’s partner, Andy, a few months ago. We worked at the same post office for many years and I will always remember Glenn as a good, kind, and gracious person; a man of integrity and purpose…a strong Christian. May we remember that we will all be reunited one day through Christ Jesus.
Dear Bonnie & family,
My deep condolences on the passing of Glenn. I remember the Guy family well from your time at Calvary in West Asheville. Not only did your dear parents play a large role in my life and that of my sister but so did you and your siblings. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Glenn’s immediate family. With love…
Ray and I loved Glenn. We know that he will be missed by so many but that he is rejoicing with his Savior. Our prayers are with you . We love you!
I know there are praises in heaven this day. May the Lord sustain you through your time of grieving. Blessings!
My husband and I attended the celebration of life at Trinity of Fairview for Glenn Guy this evening. What a wonderful testimony to a man sold out to Jesus and the impression and influence he had on all the people God brought into his life. It was a legacy only a believer and follower of Christ would be worthy of and his life was a testimony to the saving grace and transformation Christ brings to a life turned over to Him. I was truly blessed and moved by the words of our pastor, his father, and the man who sang for him. The statements of his family were amazing and beautifully shared. I am so grateful the Lord has brought us to this church and to the loving people there.
