We are going to miss her very much. But she will continue to bring light and life to our home through her paintings and lithos......you will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

Cheri, Jeff and Mindy,
My heart was so saddened last night when Dave called to let me know of your mom's passing. I have such fond memories of all the fun activities our families did together when we were growing up: La Jolla vacations, Payson camping trips, Sunday picnics, hiking, backyard holiday get-togethers, just to name a few! We always had fun, fellowship and lots of laughter! Time has moved on much too quickly, and I miss seeing all of you! I'm sure your Dad and my folks were waiting at Heaven's gate to welcome your Mom "home"; and I'm sure my Dad had a joke to tell her! I share your heartache; but am rejoicing that she is no longer suffering and in the arms of Jesus! Love to you all!
