My Dearest Grandma,
The heart does not forget the things that made it feel so light -- It keeps in loving memory the smiles, so warm and bright... The heart does not forget such things -- And this is more than true, when a heart is filled with memories, and loving thoughts of you! Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day in heaven. I miss you as always and love you so very much. Please watch over all of us, today as you have everyday since your passing and help us to get through this first Mother's Day without you. May God be With You Til We Meet Again! I LOVE YOU FOREVER!

My Dearest Grandma,
It has now been 11 weeks sice your spirit left the earth. They have finally placed your headstone back in its proper spot and have engraved your name upon the stone. It makes me feel much better now that it has been taken care of. Yesterday was Mother's Day and I now it was a struggle for all of us but we made it through. Soon it will be Memorial Day and it will be hard for all of us not to see you but with each other's love and strength we will get through it just has we have the past 11 weeks. I still miss and I find myself reading letters that you wrote more and more often now. I can always feel you closer to me when I do. I hope you will continue to watch over us and help us through our daily struggles. May God be with you til we meet again. I LOVE YOU FOREVER!

Dear Grandma
I am going back to your place of rest soon and it is going to be hard. I realized today that I am going to have to face the realization of your absence all over again. I know you will give me the strength to do this. Grandma I just wanted to say I love you and I will miss seeing you this memorial weekend. I send you all my love.

Mom, As I sit here thinking of you a tear rolls down my check. I have been reading your old love letters and your books you kept. I'm so glad you saved all those things. Even though they bring tears to my eyes they keep you near to my heart. Mom you stood by all your children no matter what they did.We must be one the luckest children in all the world to have had you for our Mother. You taught us so much and even though most of us didn't use it till are later years it's there in our hearts and our actions. Mom I miss you so much. The pain is a little duller now but some days it is still so sharp. Mom I love you and always will. Till we meet again may God watch over us all.
Love forever and always

My Dearest Grandma,
If we could have one lifetime wish. A dream that would come true, we would pray to God with all our hearts for yesterday and you. A thousand word's wont bring you back... We know because we've tried. Neither will a thousand tears we know because we've cried. You left behind our broken hearts and happy memories too. But we never wanted memories we only wanted to you. Today it was been 12 weeks since your passing and in just a few day it will have been 3 months. I miss you so much still and wish you were here with us. In two weeks it will be memorial day and as the family gathers we will miss you very much and it will be hard for us. I pray that you will be with us at this time to help us understand and to accept that you are at peace. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU TIL WE MEET AGAIN. With all my heart and soul I LOVE YOU FOREVER!

Dear Grandma,
I am writting to tell you school will be out on the 27th and that means that the family reunion is coming. It is going to be so hard because you are not going to be there. I am going to be thinking why isn't grandma here yet. I really want to see her. You were always early getting there. We never had to wait to see you. You were right there waiting for us to get there. Bob decided to make a book out of your old letters. It will be in the family. I think it is a good idea. I never knew Grandpa Max liked to write alot. Maybe thats were I get it. I have a new penpal. He lives over in Europe. I am being a good young lady and I am minding my matters. I will be missing for days to come and I do miss you now. I love you so much, Grandma. Well I better let you go. It is almost bed time. Good night and sweet dreams my angel. Before I let you go I have to tell you about this experience I had. One of my friends called me an angel for some reason and I said that I was your angel. I also forgot. Clayton wrecked on his bike this morning going to school. He had to get stitches. Well now I am going to let you go. Bye. I love you tons and loads!!!
Love me,

I think that it is going to be very hard for everyone. I just can not believe that you will not be there. I can remember going and the first thing I always did when I got there was find you, it is going to be hard to stop my self from looking for you cause I know that you will not be there. No madder how bad that I want you to be it is not possible, I know that you will be there in spirt. But that is not something that I can hold or touch. I will miss giving you a great big hug.. Please just take all of us in your arms and help us through this like you have help us all through so much other stuff. we all miss and love you very much. please watch over us. we will always love you.

Some of the grandchildren will not. It will be different without you. Please help us do the things that need to be done. I know it will not be easy. Mom I miss you so. It is still hard to believe you are no longer with us in body. Some days I can almost believe you are still in Twin. Well Mom keep watch over us we still need you.

My Dearest Grandma,
It has been three months and one day since your spirit left your body and in that time so much has happened. We are trying to get through each and everyday by remebering that although we cannot see you, you are with us every step of the way. Next week is memorial day and it will be the first family reunioun without you, it is going to be hard but we can do it. We are stronger than we want to admit. The flowers are starting to bloom and its starting to warm up. Mom and Dad have even went fishing already. I know that is something you really liked to do and I hope they let you do that in heaven. So many things have happened since you were called away, So many things to share with you Had you been left to stay. Every day in some small way Memories of you come my way Though you are gone, I feel you near, Greatly missed, loved forever dear. May god be with you til we meet again. I LOVE YOU FOREVER

Dear Mom,
As I sit here I can't help but cry. I miss you so much, and really need to talk with you. You helped me through everything I ever did. And now I need you so much and you can't be with me. I try to say and do the things you taught me. But I am not as good as you are at helping. Jerrett tells me he can't do it and I tell him he can and will. But it sounded much better coming from you. I know you are with me. When things get to be to much. I can feel you with me. Thank you. I love you so much Mom And so glad you taught me how to do the things I have to do. Your the best Mom anyone could have had and I am so glad your mine. and thanks for my sisters there great. And I need them to.
I Love you Mom and all ways will.
Love,
Joy Ann

Well my Dear Grandma, 14 weeks now have passed since you were called away. We had our 1st family reunion without you yesterday. But is was if you were only not there physically but you were there in spirit helping us to pass that major milestone. There are bound to be many more difficult times ahead but you have raised a wonderful family. Each ever so willing to help the other one out. There are some pretty flowers on your grave and it looks so beautiful. Last night when I was at the cemetery I was down by the flags and I seen a lady bending over to put a rose on one of the crosses and my mind took me back to all the many years that you did that for grandpa.. It was sad to think that you were not there to do it this year, but there is still a rose there for grandpa. I love you so much and I only hope that I did express this love while you were still on the earth. Well I need to go. I am meeting mom at the cemetery so we can walk around it like we do every year, the only difference is the absence of you. I will be thinking about you today as I do every day. May God Be With You Till We Meet Again. I LOVE YOU FOREVER!

~And God Said.~
I said "God, I hurt,"
And God said, "I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed,"
And God, said, "That is why I gave you sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard,"
And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God my loved one died,"
And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss,"
And God said, "I saw mine nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, but your loved one lives,"
And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."
I said, "God, it hurts,"
And God said, "I know."
(poem was posted on the wall at the site of the bombing in Oklahoma)
May each and everyone of us take comfort in knowing that our loved ones now live with God above!

Dear Grandma,
I just wanted to write and say that i love and miss you very much. There is so much going on in this family, But there always is i guess.

Sometime it still hurts so much, but i just try to think of all the good times that we had. I know that you are watching over everyone. Just say a payer for all of us. we all love you.

My dear sweet beautiful Grandma,
15 weeks now have passed since you were taken from the earth. I still miss you so much and I find myself often thinking how things might have been if you had only gotten better. I never wanted you to stay here and suffer I just wanted you to get better, I think we all did. I guess Our wise Father in Heaven knew what he was doing when he called you that early March morning, and we will all have to wait to find out why. I know that all things have a reason but I will never understand why God took you when he did. I will just have to live out my time on earth, however long or short that time may be, Before my questions will find answers. A million times we'll miss you, A million times we'll cry. If love alone would have saved you. You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place NO OTHER ONE CAN FILL. The golden gates stood open, God saw you needed rest. God's Garden must be beautiful, For he always takes the best. Just know my dear Grandma that you are loved and greatly missed by all on this earth who were blessed to know you. Please watch and care for each of us as we continue our journey's here on earth, and May God Be With You Till We Meet Again.
Your loving Grandaughter,
Cammie

Dearest Mom,
Some days I still don't know how to go on living without you. For all my life you was the who I could count on to be there for me for everything. It was always call Mom.She's knows.You taught me alot.This living with you gone is the hardest thing I have ever done. And some days I don't think I can do it anymore. Mom I miss you so.
Patricia

June 8, 1999
My dear Grandma, I messed up a bit in my last letter to you, saying that God knew what he was doing when he called you home in March, but it wasn't March when you left us it was February. I guess time has a way of slipping past us. If your death has taught me anything it is to never let too much time go by without telling those you love just how special and how very important they are to you because you never know when they will be called back by Our Father in Heaven. Not a day goes by that I don't think of all the missed opportunties that I have had to tell people how dear they are to me. I know there are a lot of people that read these messages so I just wanted to let you all know that even though we are far apart and may only see each other once or twice a year you still mean so much to me and are a big part of my life. I love each and every one you. Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and even 2nd cousins. We are all part of one big family, there is a special bond that connects us, One with the other. Grandma I hope you are watching over us and helping us to help each other through these difficult times. I LOVE YOU FOREVER, May God Be With You Till We Meet Again!! As Always Your Grandaughter in Santaquin

Dear Grandma,
Over the family reunion they sorted throught all of your stuff. I think we all did really well. Jennifer is going to have her baby in four weeks. Jerrett's baby is doing okay. I miss you loads. This whole year in school I got nothing below a B. I am so proud of myself. I have a brown belt testing next Thursday. I really wish you could be there, but I know you will be in sprit. I really hope to see you again someday. Everyone is fine. Maria just turned 6 years old. The family reunion was small this year, but there was still all the love that keeps our family together. JoyAnn said something to me. She said that she was very pleased with the family and how much love we had for each other. I just agreed with her. Ashley left for Boston already, but their dog ran away. I think that is kinda of sad. She really liked that dog. Anyway Grandma I guess I will let you go for the night. I will write another day. Sweet dreams and Good night. I love you tons!
Love me always,

I miss you so much, and wish I could just talk to you. Then you could tell me what it is that I need to do.This is so hard. And I have so much to share with you.Mom your my best friend.

Mom the times we shared, meant more to me. Than works can ever say..Each smile you gave, each gentle kiss,the love,the laughter,Will never fade away. The times you came and touched my face,the little things that showed you cared.Means more than you could ever know. You left me in the dark of night.now every night as dark returns, So do the memories I hold so tight. I Love you Mom..And miss you dearly...

My dearest Grandma,
I thought I left a message here a while back but I guess I didn't. I just wanted to make a correction when I said God called you hame in March, but the Lord called you much sooner than that and took you from us in February. It has been almost five months now since that day and the pain does ease some until thoughts of you come my way and then it's almost as if it was that day all over again. Lossing you was so hard for all of us but your wonderful children have stayed by each other and that has helped each nad everyone to be comforted. I just wanted to let you now how much I love you and how I look forward to the day we will all meet again. May God Be With You until we meet again. As Always I Love You FOREVER!!!!

Dear Mom Well I just got back from Salt Lake. I do not like that place, To many people for me. And Jerrett feels the same way. But he'll stick it out as long as Stevee is out there. Things are going real good with her.And the rest of the kids are doing fine. Jennifer is ready to have her baby.This time she aint felt as good, nothing wrong just tired more. And Joann has never did better in her whole life. Things are going great for her.And Geoff well he is having some troubles, with his health. But he is taking care of it. The two little ones are fine. Growing up way to fast. And yes Linize is still Linize. Guess she always will be. As for me i miss you like crazy. And not a day goes by I dont think of you.I dont cry all the time now,But a tear well fall down my face. It's sad. But your loved Mom by so many and Missed by all.With love that well last my life time I send this to you.
Love
Joy Ann
