Rod and Teresa
It has been only a few short years ago that our families met (my sister and myself) and we got to know of and about each other. I am thankful that in that short time I got to know Aunt Lova and often talked with her. My visit to Salt Lake last summer with you and Aunt Lova will always be remembered. Aunt Lova will be remembered by me as a very thoughtful and caring person. She was one "GREAT LADY"
We will miss her.

I work for Mrs. Allen's grand daughter, Shauna Hebertson. I just want to tell Shauna and her family the Master needed another flower for the Master's Bouquet, and Mrs. Allen was that blossom. May she rest in peace, and may the family cherish the great memories they have. May God Bless each of you.

Dear Rod and Teresa,
How thankful I am for the short time I knew Lova. The last time I spent time with her was wonderful. she asked me to stay and visit and she told me how much she loved her family. How wonderful it was to watch her grandchild grow up, and how good she was treated at your house. She spoke especially about the loving care she recieved from Teresa. god bless all of you .

We will miss you dear sweet Auntie. You are such a great example to us all. We never heard a mean or angry word pass your lips nor seen an unkind action. We are grateful to have had so many years with you and honor you for who you are. We will miss you.

Dear cousins:

Our love and prayers are with you at this time. We have so many wonderful memories of your sweet mother. She always made our family feel so welcome and loved. She has certainly 'endured to the end' and has been a great example to all of us.

Love, Marva & Warren Beck & Family
