Beautiful Mom

It has been a couple of months since I have posted. Mariann having a few complications and missing 46 days of school! Today I am in Pocatello, Idaho with my family planning our dear mother's funeral. I need to share my love for her!
Mom, you are amazing! In your 80 years you have done so many amazing things. You were a loving wife for 61 years. The mother of 10 children. I can't imagine how many loads of wash you must of done, by hand! Dirty diapers that you changed, that were not disposable. Just thinking of all the inventions that you have used to help with your chores.
Most importantly, you shared your testimony with me daily. You taught me to "Make new friends and keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold."
You taught me to LOVE EVERYONE! Never burn bridges. You taught me to have proper manners at the table. I might need to work at that one since moving out of the house. But most of all to follow the example of our Savior, Jesus Christ. May I strive to follow to keep His commandments as you have.
I want you to know how much I love and respect you! Thank you for having just "one" more. You will be missed! I am so grateful to KNOW that we will see you again in the Eternities! I love you!
