My sweet, gracious mother passed away this beautiful Sunday morning and what a reunion she is having right now with my father and brother! Although tears are being shed for her great loss, there is a celebration going on in Heaven that will last for days! I love you mom and will always be humbled that I was lucky enough to be your daughter! I will honor you, love you and never forget you! I want to be just like you when I grow up! I love you ALWAYS and FOREVER!

66Cousins Party

 Gen and Cumora had a great time. They love seeing everyone.

We sure had a fun time at Danny's house having a party!  It was great to see all the cousins who came.

 I told Liz to open her eyes, she really did.

 Karen was having fun photo bombing.

We had a great time and wish that everyone could come.  Thanks Danny and Nancy. 

Beautiful home, wonderful food and lots of Fun.

Ken would have been 97 years old today. 

BYU football player, Nick Longshore..age 32, my Donor has left these cute girls.. Caroline and Baby Ha nnah..4 weeks old.







Hannah listened to her Daddy's heart beating in my chest! Miracles happening!

Here are a couple of photos of William.  I have much greater respect for his wife Janet.  My memory of William is as follows.  He left Janet for the gold of California and I believe he took another wife with him.  Janet prayed every night that he would return and he eventually returned to Utah.  Now I am not sure I have this story exactly correct but that may encourage some of you to read about William and prove me wrong.  You might also find about the birth of Janet which is most interesting.  I will be visiting her birthplace this fall.  Her photo is also attached. Good Luck, Kendell
