He fought his public battles for the right to work, parental rights in education, morality in public institutions, religious liberty, affordable energy, and so many other worthy causes so effectively, that many of us thought that he would defeat the cancer that ravaged his body too. Sadly, after a very long battle the cancer won, but even in this struggle, Gary showed how to face one's mortality with courage, grace, and abiding trust in God. Gary Glenn was a patriot not unlike those who founded our country and shepherded it to greatness. We are all in his debt.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">To his wife, Annette, and the family he loved so very much, please know how much we share your grief and be assured of our love and prayers.</span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNgsA4FpAE2OOFcCOCYeZCGN03LIXQ5VHkO2xG9bPjuhnhVhsnrhx7a8ablewAklBTOr16AEXTbpS_SL_QlzIODu_Ebsox2-NN_s1Ky4jcCCGWEgn5E8zGRvuXGhpZFkgq2HvFg1UiZX6FoEB7C4aVg1AIWwG16Pxx4ckxKQLW3pdsxnFrFPgn7uwLeQI/s500/16552788130975882409.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="261" data-original-width="500" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNgsA4FpAE2OOFcCOCYeZCGN03LIXQ5VHkO2xG9bPjuhnhVhsnrhx7a8ablewAklBTOr16AEXTbpS_SL_QlzIODu_Ebsox2-NN_s1Ky4jcCCGWEgn5E8zGRvuXGhpZFkgq2HvFg1UiZX6FoEB7C4aVg1AIWwG16Pxx4ckxKQLW3pdsxnFrFPgn7uwLeQI/s320/16552788130975882409.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span face=""Source Sans Pro", sans-serif" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;"><b><p><span face=""Source Sans Pro", sans-serif" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;"><b><br /></b></span></p></b></span><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">Former Michigan State Rep.
