A Family - Wade

My favorite memory is not so specific and covers a wide range of time rather than just a moment, but I will do my best to convey it.  I think my favorite memory was the entire period of time leading up to Amy and my wedding.  I remember thinking that things had better work out with Amy because I was going to be a member of this family no matter what.  There was just a peaceful feeling in your home and I found that I preferred to be there even if Amy was at work.  I had such great times watching baseball and simply talking with you both whether over Cheez-its and pickles or just sitting in the front room.  I think one of the main reasons that I knew so quickly that I wanted to marry Amy was that I already felt at home.  Thanks for all the memories and the wonderful times!

Sweet Nancy - Jose

Sweet Nancy, I’m reminded of you every day by the reflection of love, patience and Christ like attributes you have imprinted on your beautiful daughter Wendy. She is always serving with patience and the sweetest demeanor that makes everyone feel special. She’s always teaching everyone around her to be Christ like by her example. This makes me thank my Heavenly Father every day for you and the wonderful mother that you were and continue to be to her. I love you Nancy. Thanks for all the sacrifices you have made for your family and teaching them to be children of our Heavenly Father, I have been blessed to be a part of your family.

Soccer Star Jeff - Jose

I still remember the day when we were in the living room of the snow home in Alamogordo. Jeff you had the ball and were anxious to show your kids your fancy foot works with a soccer ball. You started bouncing the ball off your feet and went to do a “Soccer Star” pass when quite unexpectedly the soccer ball was suddenly possessed by a satanic spirit, it caused it to ricochet off your foot like a speeding bullet into the church pulpit like stand that was holding your TV and VCR. All of a sudden, time slowed down to a crawl so the whole family could see the TV and VCR come tumbling down in slow motion. Once the dust settled and we could all see that both the TV & VCR were not spared by that satanic possessed soccer ball, we all turned in horror to see what Papa would do. To our surprise, you just chuckled igniting an uproar in the whole family, and we all praised your excellent soccer skills.

Arizona- Porter

I'm pretty sure we all loved Arizona... I mean who wouldn't. That's where most of us Glemsers were born anyways. I remember when we moved to Arizona again after we left (and I'm pretty sure we left behind something because not long after everyone started to move). Anyways where was I... ah yes the good times we had in Arizona (before everyone left because of the Velasquezes). I remember we would host pool parties, my favorites. We cousins had fun with other cousins and some aunts and uncles would also go in the pool and socialize. Most adults though would go in  our vast living room and chat. I would love coming in after being all dry and socializing with the adults even though they used huge and extraordinary vocabulary that for a nine year-old boy would be hard to understand. I would just nod and smile like I would understand everything when I understood nothing (especially with Grandpa's words about aliens).

I would love on the Thanksgiving and Christmas time we were there the tasty varieties of pies Grandma would make and the presents she would deliver. She would actually bring presents as good as Santa's. I would always love that. Being in Arizona was the best. We should go there for a family reunion sometime soon. Those were the best memories of my life.

A.O.G.G.-Mari

Grandpa, I will never forget how this summer you introduced me to Anne of Green Gables! When you pulled   it out and told me we were going to watch it I was not too excited. I thought it was going to be some boring old movie. But Wow! I was liked hooked after the first "episode."  Never in a million years would I have thought that I would like Anne of Green Gables. Grandpa, spending time with you and grandma this past summer was amazing. I loved hearing all your funny, witty remarks to things! I am very grateful for you and how you so diligently study the scriptures! You know sooooo much about this great gospel and I am so grateful for your wonderful example of how to actually study, not just read, the scriptures. I will never forget the conversations that we had at your kitchen table. Thank you for answering all of my questions even though sometimes they were kinda confusing:). Grandpa there is not a doubt in my mind that you do not have a testimony of this gospel. I literally do not know anyone else who studies it as much as you. I love you very much and look forward to spending more time with you!<33Mari

Sleepovers-Mari

Grandma I will never forget our awesome sleepovers that we had at your house in Arizona! I remember you would come meet me half way when i was walking to your house from my school. We would always catch up on the new episode of "the next food network star", and you would always have the best snacks for me. One of my favorite parts was when we would go on our walks with Maggie early in the morning (or at least early for me). I  will always remember how loving and patient and kind you were with Grandma Boomer. I still remember when we went to visit her in the hospital. Though it was sad to see her in pain, it showed me how much love you and grandpa had for her. Grandma you are such a great example to me and everyone who meets you. You always seem to leave someone happier than they were before they saw you! I love you so very much and I am so glad you made a valiant decision to raise your family in this wonderful gospel that we have. Everyone can tell that you  have such a strong testimony just by your simple, daily actions. I hope one day i could have such a sweet, loving, and caring heart like you do! I Love You<333
