Your dad was always so nice to me. He always remembered me when I came to the Logan Temple and treated me with extra kindness. I have great memories of him when my friends and I would drive past his house to "see" the twins. He would just wave and smile, I am sure he was used to it.

I have very fond memories of Mr. Lundberg as I would call him growing up in Hyrum. Many is the time that myself, Daryl and many other friends would spend time over to their house.
I only knew of love and kindness that I would feel from the time I entered until I left the house. He will be truely missed.
And to my good friend Daryl, my heart goes out to you my friend, I know it's been quite a long time since we have seen each other but never are we so close with the bond of our friendship. I pray the Lord watch and bless you at this time.
Your friend always,
Big T

Clair has been a very positive influence in the lives of the Legrand Miller family. He was always so kind and considerate of Dean and a good friend of Legrand. I remember teaching the twins in Primary. May the Lord be with you at this difficult time.
