Not sure what to say?

Thank you for being such good neighbors and friends for so many years in South Jordan. I think I talked to LaDawn more after she moved to Glenmore. I visited several times with her at Reem's while shopping and also we talked on the phone. I'm sorry my purple plate couldn't stop her shingles pain, but she gave it a try. She is a special lady with such a good heart. She always had love and concern for all her family members.
I (Melanie)got to know LaDawn the summer she asked me to help break...

Thank you for sharing your family with our family. I imagine there is quite a reunion in heaven we think about the times we shared with all of the Farr family.

Love, the Jenkins family Ann, Neal, and Denise

Dear Farr family,

Due to a recent illness my wife and I were not able to attend the funeral for your mother. I would like to express my love and sympathy for this sweet lady. There is a special reward for her for the way she cared for Eugene. Mel and Ladawn were great examples to us all. we love them dearly. May God bless you as you carry on their legacy.

One of the kindest people to ever live on earth! I'm grateful for LaDawn's way of making me feel more like family than just friends (and she was a lifelong friend of our family.) She is a beautiful person who made an impact on me.

Dear Debbie, Kevin, Kelly, Tim and Ruth Ann,
I love your mom and dad. They were always so sweet and kind, and you are all like your parents. I really enjoyed learning more about your mom at the service yesterday. It was a really nice service. Debbie, I enjoyed the life history entries you read, and Kevin and Kelly, I enjoyed the memories and experiences you shared. The music was really nice, too. I have never heard the song "How Beautiful" before.
May the Lord bless and comfort...

How I love your mother! She has been such a big part of my life as I've lived here in Glenmoor! She is such a great example of how I should live. When she used to be in our book group, the standard was "Sister Farr approved". We would never read anything that would be in any way offensive to her. Every year she would call me up and sing to me on my birthday. The last year before she moved out of her home I wasn't home when she called so she left me a message and sang to me. I still have...

Thank you for sharing your Mom with us. I have so many fond memories of her. She is truly an elect lady! Sorry we cannot be there to honor her. We are serving in the London Temple. We love you all! Terri (Nielsen) and Clyde Page

Dearest Sweet Ladawn how we will miss you in this life. You were one of the dearest people in my life and in many others I am sure. I am so happy for you today because I know you are with your dear Mel and Gene too. I will always remember our times together with a smile. I loved that smile and your sweet voice, and the way you just said things, and the things about out lives that were so similar. Dearest children, Kevin, Debbie, Kelly and my special friend Ruthann may the Holy Spirit...

LaDawn is one of the sweetest, most genuine,and friendly women I've known. Serving with her in Primary was a treat, and I was sorry to see that she passed away. May special memories of her bring you comfort in the days, months, and years ahead.
