I have so many great memories of our summer visits to Idaho. Picking strawberries, running through the irrigation in the yard, home made ice cream, losing Puddles on our road trip and many more. We have many of your quilts to remind us of you and so many other great memories. You were a wonderful grandma and great grandma. We'll see you again in heaven.

We are so sorry to hear about Eula passing. She was such a good friend to Mom. We have such good memories of spending time with Eula, Roy and family. Eula was always the perfect host when I had sleep overs with cousins Don & Dick.

Grandma,
I am going to miss you so! The days of us going to dairy king for double dipped cones and going to the mall will be missed. I still have many quilts you made that have been washed over and over which never wear out. One of which is sitting on my son's bedroom floor as it gets used so much. You are an incredible woman and I am sorry I did not go and see you more.
