I have so many fond memories of growing up across the street from the Johnstons...riding around in the green Gremlin with the scorching hot vinyl seats where I was always allowed to take the spare change for candy and gum, making banana splits with the MULTIPLE flavors of ice cream that were always in the freezer, watching Smokey and the Bandit for the first time on Showtime when we didn't even have cable at our house, or playing in Sheba's oversized doghouse in the backyard. Not to mention my very first Chia pet that they brought me from their trip to California. These are all memories that I will cherish forever. God bless you, Mrs. J

There are only a few people that immediately light up our life as soon as we encounter them, and Mrs. Johnston was the ultimate example of such a person. I am so thankful that she allowed my wife and I to be part of her life. The world is brighter because Glorena Johnston passed through it.

I loved Grandma J very, very much and will miss her always. Both she and Grandpa J always had time for the Coussou grandkids - whether watching me do cartwheels across their lawn until I couldn't stand up anymore or letting me and Ryan run the water hose all day long while we played on the slip and slide - they are a part of so many of my best childhood memories. Thank you for sharing Grandma & Grandpa J with us. We love you all and our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
