Losing A Great One

It was a day we have all prepared ourselves for mentally several times over the last several years, but we lost a great friend this morning.

Glen Casselberry not only worked in maintenance for the school, but for many years served as the video coordinator for the football team. He was at ever game and took every win with pride and hurt with every loss.

He loved the Cowboys and he loved the university, but the thing he loved more than anything he loved his son and wife Brenda. Hunter has been the ball boy for the Cowboys since he could walk. I can't believe he is already playing high school ball for the Jim Ned Indians. Their interaction showed love. They both loved the road trips, even in the early days of the cancer.

There is little doubt in my mind that Glen fought the painful disease so long for Hunter. There were things he wanted to see him do and he fought hard to the end to see those things.

Hunter had to grow up all too soon with this, but he is a great kid. Brenda is a loving mom and was a trooper through the whole process. They both need our prayers and our support.

Heaven found another Cowboy today. Glen is in a better place, he fought the fight and should be admired for his strength, toughness, spirit and the love of his family.

I am sure Glen will be up there with a view of the whole field, not just that two inch viewfinder.
