IN MEMORY OF VERN C GARDNER

Dear Family: The last time I saw Vernie he ran up to me wanting to know where Gene was!! That has been a few years back at a family reunion. Always excited and smiling! I have known Vernie since he was just a little guy with curly, curly hair and beautiful eyes. I babysat Vernie, Karen and Alan before their brothers and sister were even born. It was Vernie, Vaughngee, Sissie (Cecile), Jane, Karen and Gene running through Grandma's house and causing commotion. Of course, I was the one trying to keep them out of trouble. I love my Aunt JoAnne so much. She and all of Vernies brothers and sisters have been so supportive and loving to each other. I hope they know how much their family is loved and how sad it is to say goodbye to Vernie. Vernie was always happy wherever he was and he loved whoever he was with. Much love, Joane

It makes me so very sad that Vernie is no longer with us. He was such a
special person. I will never forget that smile of his. I remember when he
was very young in Star Valley and lived so close to us. We love Aunt Joane
and all her family so much. I'm sure he's having a great time with Uncle
Vern and my parents will be very glad to see him. Diane



Dear Ones,
I am so saddened today to hear of the death of Vernie. I haven't seen him in
quite a while but shall always remember the cute boy that he was. I am so sorry
to lose another one of us!! I trust Aunt JoAnne and her family know how much we
love and care for you. Keep us posted. Lovingly, Julia

Greetings Cousins,
I am extremely saddened by this news. Just two weeks ago I was telling my wife
Margie how fond I was of Vernie, and how he literally saved my life as a child
(and Alan's at the same time).
With love,
Vaughn (Dorothy's son)

I would like to express my condolences to JoAnn and her family. Vernie was a champion and he always seemed so happy to me. He made a good life with all of his trials. Give them all my love.

I, too, was saddened by Vernie's death. I hope Aunt JoAnne is doing okay.

Vernie attended the Weber South Special Needs Mutual. He loved dancing with the Jazz dancers.

quin.gardner@mssb.com Also, just a note about Mike's wife Linda. Her mother, Betty Andersen 88 passed away October 11th. (Her father Leroy is now in his 90's)The funeral was held October 18th. Linda gave a wonderful tribute to her mother and Brian sang beautifully, "Beyond the Sunset'. Please send condolences to them at the above address, since I was so late getting this word out. Thanks, Pat

Lonnie is getting married. He is getting married on October ninth to Kimberly Stoker. We are excited that he has found someone to spend his life with and wanted it posted. Lonnie has 9 children and Kim has 8 so they will have a very large family. Just wanted everyone to know.

Funeral Program

Claude Leslie Bullard

Claude Leslie Bullard
December 14, 1924 to July 27, 2010
CLINTON - Our beloved Husband, Father and Grandfather passed away peacefully on July 27th, 2010.
He was born on December 14, 1924 in Carthage, North Carolina to William and Ester Mann Bullard, one of fifteen brothers and sisters. He left home in 1941 to join the US Marine Corps at the beginning of World War II. He fought with the 1st Marine Division throughout the Pacific Campaign. In April, 1944 he returned to San Diego, CA to recuperate from Malaria. He met and married a beautiful young Marine from Star Valley, Wyoming, Genevieve Gardner. Soon after their marriage he returned to the Pacific and was on the Armada headed for Japan when the war ended. After the war he fell in love with Genevieve’s large family, their mountains and their religion. He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was sealed to Gen in the Salt Lake Temple in 1957. Together they raised eight children and have 43 grandchildren and 46 great-grandchildren.
He raised his family primarily in Roy, Utah where he served in numerous church callings including Bishop, High Councilor and as a Stake Missionary. He loved the Gospel and tried to show faith and obedience in all he was asked to do. He served a full time Mission for the church with his wife in the Tulsa, Oklahoma Mission from 1995 to 1996.
He exemplified the best character of those in the “Greatest Generation”. He took on life as it came, and simply worked his way through. His ability and desire to work hard is a legacy for his posterity. He worked in the mines of Wyoming and later spent 33 years at Hill Air Force Base. Retirement was merely a time to find additional projects and people to help. He always had a large garden and orchard, and gladly gave most produce away after the needs of his family were met. Gen says that “he planted a flower wherever a flower would grow, in Roy, in the mission field or the sandy soil of Rock Springs Wyoming".
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Genevieve Gardner Bullard, children Kathie (Steve) Smith, L Kirk (Kristine) Bullard, Kerry G (Joyce) Bullard, Lonnie M Bullard, A Steven Bullard, Corey D (Ana) Bullard, Troy D (Shelly) Bullard and Kristie (Robb) Walker. Also survived by 42 grandchildren and 46 great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by all but three siblings, by a daughter-in-law Ardene Ressler Bullard and a granddaughter Krystal Dawn Walker.
Funeral services will be held on Monday August 9, 2010 at 11:00 a.m, at the Clinton 13th Ward, 1708 West 800 North Clinton, Utah. Friends and family may call on Sunday, August 8, 2010, from 6:00-8:00 p.m., at Myers Mortuary, 5865 South 1900 West Roy, Utah, and on Monday August 9, 2010, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. prior to services at the church.
Interment in the Roy City Cemetery, where military honors will be accorded.
The family wishes to express thanks to all who cared for Dad, especially to his daughter Kristie who lovingly cared for him in her home for many years.

Linda Update

Linda did not break her back. She had fallen and broke her pelvis. This is still a serious injury and has been very painful. She is in the Salt Lake Regional Hospital, room 334, located on South Temple in SLC and may be there for the next month or two. Our hopes and prayers are with Linda. Get well soon.

Family update -

Uncle Les -

He was undergoing treatment to determine what medications were needed and developed an infection that required that he be moved to the North Davis Medical Center.

Linda -

The report given to me is that Linda fell and broke her back. It was necessary for her to go to SLC for treatment.

As a family let us think of them and include them in our prayers. Please let us know of any other serious illness that you may know about.

Diane tells me I missed the best reunion ever!! I am so sorry I could not be there. She told me the food was spectacular and Lonnie's house is beyond beautiful. I missed my sweet Aunt Cumora. What an example of goodness and love. All of my aunts and uncles were so devoted to each other.

Diane also told me there was a tribute for my dear brother, Gene, from his cousin Greg. I read the kind words Greg told of Gene and I will forever miss him as we miss all our loved ones. I am also so grateful for my heritage, my parents, my sister and brother and all my family. My cousins have always been so loving and just good people and I am so proud and thankful I was born into this family. Your kindness expressed when Gene left us will always be held close to me.

Kirk and Randy were the only cousins my age and it was so unfair I had to race two guys every year. I grew up the Pammie, Leah Rae, Kathy, Jane, Cecile, Bonnie, Ganeal, Suzanne and remember the Frost Top! I have so many memories of summers at Grandma's and Star Valley.

Thank you for your love and support. I love you, Joane
