The family often tells stories of her devotion and love to her Savior and family, especially her husband. They talk of her endless service and love to all those around her. They also have many funny stories of things she did and said. :) I am so grateful for these stories! They have made me feel so much closer to her.
Although I didn't know her that well, I could tell that she was an amazing, strong and beautiful woman. She was so sweet and always looking to serve others. The night she passed away she was talking to me and asked how I was doing, if I was stressed out with the wedding plans, and if I needed anything. It made cry because even though she was going through so much, she was worried about something as insignificant as our details for the wedding. As Chris and I said our goodbyes, she took us by the hand and said, "You guys make a great team, I can just tell". That statement has stuck with us and when things are tough we tell each other that.

Thank you for making this post Andrea, it made me cry :) Can't help it, when I read about my Mom it just happens. I am glad you got to know her a little bit before she "took off" as Dad likes to say. She was just wonderful. I LOVE all the pictures you took, thanks for taking the time to do that. It gives me warm fuzzy feelings when I look at what a beautiful family we have and I am so Happy that you are part of our family- you are a sweet and important addition. Chris did well :)
