My favorite thing about my mom was her sense of wonder. Her genuine and enthusiastic, "Ooooooh! Look at THAT and look at THIS! And wow, over THERE!" whether we were at Disney or the mall, or a movie was something that was always a welcome surprise that brought a smile and happy tears to my face.
We will miss you so much mom. But we know in the presence of our Savior you no longer struggle with physical limitations. I know when you got to heaven your eyes got big and you said the best "Wooooowwwwwww!" ever!

Lori spoke of you so much I felt as if I knew you! The first time I met you you were cutting up greens! Everything smelled so good!! The love for your grandchildren surely opened my heart to the warmth and love you had in your big heart! RIP my dear beautiful lady. One day we will all be standing with you.

My Nana was the best one there was. She was my best friend. I'll always love her, and I'll never forget the time she fell off the wheelchair at Disney World 😂. We had some good times. Godspeed. May your light never dim. I love you.

To Tamaria & Tanisha How i loved your mom! Seri was indeed a light and blessing to all who knew her. Seri was a fresh breath of air to all of us, she kept us laughing and made us happy. My last memory of her was at Christmas time in 2014, Seri joined my family at my mothers house for Christmas dinner, we sat at the table together and had such a lovely time, she encouraged me and I encouraged her, we encouraged one another. Later on that day my sister's and I sang songs with the Karoke machine, Not to be left out Seri joined in and knew all the words to the songs! I know she is leaping and dancing with our Lord and in her new glorified body! RIP dear Seri, We love You!
Many blessings to the entire family!
Love Always,
Andrea Parks Johnson (Glenn's oldest sister)
