Dear Beverly and family. I just thought Marion would be here forever. Every
time Jeff would drive me to church I have looked at your home and wondered how you two were doing. I could have called ,but didn't. Its called procrastination. I don't get to the Post Office anymore and so I don't see you to find out that way. You are so strong.I would like to take a leaf out of your book. I remember in the Gunnison 2nd ward he was the Gospel Doctrine class teacher and through him I gained a greater insight into the Book of Mormon. I know Eddie loved him and often talked about his many talents as they both did the same work to make a living for their families, He worked hard and his accomplishments were demonstrated in the homes he built.
I cant talk about him without mentioning your good family. The boys were not only good but very handsome. and the girls were very knowlegible and I know were taught to be who they are. I can't mention the kids without mentioning Johnny. oh what a beautiful spirit he is, and now his dad has gone to be with him. How excited they will be. And I cant speak of any of them without telling you what a great person you are. You have really been devoted to him and helped him which ever way you could
You all must have a strong will to live.
To think that an 94 yr old man was still working in his shop and taking care of the yard. You worked beside him wherever you were. Thank you, Beverly, for being my friend and I have so appreciated you serving in the ward with me in Primary and wherever else we served. I knew when you were given something to do, it got done.I LOve You Much. Please accept my love and sympathy to all your family and you. Love Doreen
