Our dad's passing...

It is with great sadness that I let you know that our dad, Glen Allen Tharp, has passed away today.

He was a good person with a big heart and was loved by so many people. People still stop me and tell me stories about him when he was younger. I would always call and tell him when someone asked about him and it meant a lot to him, too. He will be missed.

He died early this morning of heart complications. He lived here in Greenwood at Magnolia Manor Apartments. He had many great friendly neighbors that he loved to visit with and talk to. He was driving himself and loved to come and see us and play with the grandkids and visit Jodie. He had been doing good since his stroke 2 years ago and had told us over the weekend that he had a cold and was going to go to the doc today to see if he could get some medicine to get rid of the crud.

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers for our family. Please especially pray for our grandmother, as this is real hard on her, and Jodie. It broke our hearts for Beth, Mama and I to tell her tonight.

God's grace and peace,
Jennifer
