Thank you for eulogizing Mr. Glass, so that even people who never heard of him can be inspired by his example. It takes great humility to admit that one has led a reprobate life and to change course completely in middle age. To the world-at-large, Mr. Glass was not a famous person, but fame is not the measure of a person's character. In his small corner of the world, Mr. Glass made an outsized difference.

Truly, Eli, he earned the accolades you gave him. To turn your back on generational violence takes an entirely different kind of courage - and then to work to redress the wrong done elevates him to another level entirely - that of a hero. RIP Big Dale indeed. Respect.

I’m sure Pastor Brooks has many such stories. Blessings to the pastor and R.I.P. Mr. Glass.

Praise be to God that Big Dale served as a role model to his community. He assuredly rests in peace with the Lord.

Pastor Brooks is truly doing God's work -- many, many more blessings to Project H.O.O.D. and to those who walk with the Spirit to rise up the South Side of Chicago. With God, all is possible. ✨🙂❤️✝️

Our cities and our world need more people with the courage to forgive. God bless Pastor Brooks who helped these two rivals toward redemption of themselves and their community. RIP Big Dale.
