Dear Kristy, Brett & Sparky
We have been thinking of you all week, so many good memories come to my mind of your mother, my sister & friend. So many years have passed with no contact with the three of you, how I wished we could bring back some of those years. I love you all may you find peace knowing that ElDean is not suffering anymore. You will all be in our heart & prayers. Wished we could be there.
Love Uncle Wayne & Aunt Larna Humpherys

Dear Kristy, Brett & Sparky,
It's hard to imagine how many years it's been since I last saw your mother. ElDean is my fist cousin. Our mothers were sisters. The last time I saw all of you was in 1963 as a college student at BYU! How sad that we let all these years slip by without staying in touch. I loved your mom. She was 3 years older than me, but I always spent time with her and Sandra Jean when our family came to visit in the summer from Burbank, CA. She was always the life of the party and had a great love of life. I have such fond memories of those days. My love and prayers are with you all at this time.
Lovingly,
Gloria Jacobsen Poulson (Mesa, AZ)
