Dear Family,
We were saddened to learn of your great loss ... mothers are so precious.
We are grateful to LeAnn for her thoughtful call. Cousin Gene, in Okinawa, e-mailed us her obituary.
Doug alerted all of his siblings.
We plan to see you at the viewing on Friday.
Our hearts are especially tender, because Aunt Velois was our last living aunt on both sides.
When we went to visit her last fall, she made us feel so glad that we did.
Your Mom and Dad meant a great deal...

Dear Atkins Family,
Our condolences to you at this time. We enjoyed being neighbors to Velois and your family. Since we were both from Cache Valley and I was friends with your mom's sister Janet we especially enjoyed visiting. What a great family she has raised. She was a very special lady. Our thoughts are with you.

Dearest Cousins,
I'm so thankful for wonderful aunts and uncles - I miss them all so much. Vacations to Utah were always fun because we got to see our cousins, aunts, and uncles. Aunt Velois made my mom two beautiful afghans. We have enjoyed them so much - they are quite beautiful. I always take great pride in letting my colleagues know that my Aunt Velois and Uncle Harry were teachers. I don't know if I'll make it to 28 years or not! Aunt Velois and I had a little talk one time...

Such a beautiful woman - she and Uncle Harry had me in their home and took me to the MTC... a favorite memory of our vast and wonderful eternal family. Much love from the Michigan branch.
