Funerals can be celebrations of life.  That was the feeling yesterday at the Stradtman funeral we attended.  We celebrated the release from pain of Jill who had been confined to a wheelchair at rest homes for so many years following a devastating auto accident.  The chapel was filled with supporters of Jill and her parents who have been so instrumental in Glenwood's retail and civic life, present and future.  Former teachers, friends and family assembled to reacquaint with each other and share the comforts of Glenwood's close community.  Adding to the day was the emergence of warm temperatures of spring sunshine!
