Have wonderful childhood memories of our northend neighborhood. Your yard was a favorite gathering place for outdoor games. That big tree was really something! I know you will miss your Mother as I miss mine everyday.

Lillian and Blair were so dear to our hearts. Our happiest times and memories were when they had their log home on the Ten Ax Ranch in Lowman, Id. We would play six-dice and other games, and when it rained, Lillian would always make fudge and popcorn. Of course her poor man's cake was always a speciality. There was always lots of laughter when she was around. She would pick up her suitcase and go travelling at the drop of a hat. Our memories of her will be everlasting, and will always think of her with a smile. Love you Lillian, and you will be missed by all. God Bless and Keep You...
