In memory

In memory of Glenn Ingouf, my mother.

On November 10, 2024, she passed through death into unimaginable joy and immeasurable peace. She rests now in the presence of her Savior, Lord, and King.

These are some personal thoughts I posted on January 23, 2022, when she celebrated her 90th birthday. I’ve added some recent updates.

She was one of the strongest, most determined women I’ve ever known. And funny. A devoted follower of Christ. And gifted teacher. Wife, mom, grandmother (Nani), and, just this year, great-grandmother.

Countless are the ways her life impacted mine. Every time I try to put it down on paper, I fall short of words.

Give thanks to the Lord with me. Hers was a life well-lived for His glory.

What’s your name?

“What’s your name?” I ask. And the man stumbles over his answer.

Gives me one response. Then another.

At first I think it’s miscommunication. I’m still learning culture and language, after all.

But soon I hear the story behind the struggle.

His story.

My mother

One of the strongest, most determined women I know. And funny. My mother.

A devoted follower of Christ. And gifted teacher. Mom and grandmother (Nani).

Countless are the ways her life impacts mine. And every time I try to put it down on paper, I fall short of words.

But we’re celebrating her 90^th birthday this week.

So, here goes. Some personal thoughts and memories.

O give thanks to the Lord, Mom. Great things He has done!
