Prayers going from our family to all your family. I only wish I had known her while she was living as we are third cousins. It is sad to find relatives after they have past away. I live in Prospect Oregon now and we have been planing a family reunion for 11 July 2016 to be held in the RIVERTON MAIN PARK, 1450 W. 12600 S., Riverton, UT 84065 at the BIG PAVILION. If any of the family would like to join us it would be a great pleasure and a real Joy to meet you. I am 81 and there are not many of us left. We are wanting the younger generation to find each other, so are in hopes this posting will get us together. Maureen Holm Jones and Jacquie Jones Chappell (Riverton, Utah)
