To Elaine's dear Family, We have many fond memories of your mother and you as you were growing up in the Desert Hills Ward. Your mother was so musical and was always singing in a group. I remember her poetry. She wrote a lovely tribute to me once and also a beautiful poem when the Sun Valley Chapel was built. People were always asking her to write poetry and to sing. She had such good ideas. She loved the Lord and her family. She was the salt of the earth and was faithful and diligent in all that she endeavored to do. We all loved her and her special family.

I loved Grandma with all my heart and as unfortunate as it is to have her gone, what a relief to have the gospel and know that she is where she truly wants to be. I am so grateful to have known my grandma so well and to have her as an example. I will always love and miss her but Im shooting for eternity as well!!
