I remember all the fun times we had in school and in summers ridding our horses. And especially when I went to Bali with her and family. I felt so bad I could not make it to her service. I am sure everyone is missing her wish we could have gotten together more often. Loving thoughts to everyone.

Dear Gale or Gail, You would think I would know.
So sorry you have lost your sweetheart. I understand. My sweetheart, Ray Geilmann passed away A year ago in August. Hope your family are there for you. I live in Portland, Oregon. I have three children here, one in Provo and one in Indiana. They try to keep in touch but most have busy lives with job and kids. Still, they are a comfort. It is so fun to remember all the good times our Andersen family had together. I remember playing with the Lincoln logs at your house when Aunt Mabel was watching me and the boys had all gone outside somewhere. Comfort to you and your family. Karen

My Aunt Carol was like a mother and my best friend, always in my corner even if I was wrong. I´m grateful for every moment I had with her as a child and an adult. I will miss traveling with her and hiking up her mountain at the crack of dawn during summer visits. But most of all I miss the sweet sound of her voice. Bye bye Aunt Carol, I´ll call you in the morning.
