A fine, wonderful woman has left us to join her husband. She was kind and always asked how my wife & I were doing. I remember some great dinners & have had the chance to work for 3 of her children. Her son was a role model for me at BYU. She will be missed.

We will miss our A-Ma, but we know that through her faith and ours, we will see each other again. She has much more work to do now and in the future with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
