Courtney just melted my heart, she is spending the night with me. She just said grandma when I lay by you I feel safe. It feels like love. Isn't that sweet!

I just told Courtney that Amy Gove has 3 kids, she said that is not fair! She said we only have 1 kid and thats me. She said, I prayed for a baby and Jessica got it! Not us! It skipped our house and skipped right over to Jessicas house, thats not fair! OH how I love this little girl! She makes me laugh.

this is my son Nathan, I will be moving in with him. I don't think he is too sure about this one!!!
When Courtney, age 5 was told about Lee passing away she said oh good,it took her parents by surprise and they said, why did you say that Courtney and she said, he is with God now and we will see him again. A couple days later I wanted to prepare her a little bit so I showed her the picture of his casket. I told her this was Grandpas new bed, she said well that looks cozy! Can I get in? Just 2 days ago Carlee 19 months saw his truck and said Lee, Lee! Jessica took her into our room yesterday to dance to Honey Honey, like Lee always did and she said Papa. Audrey has said some really sweet things too I just can't remember right now. I love my granddaughters! They bring me so much joy, it has helped so much.

I guess its time to make another post, its been awhile. Not in the mood I guess. Lee passed away August 31st 2009. He had a heart attack and passed away in his sleep. He was only 61 years old. Lets all take good care of our hearts! He had always said that was the way he wanted to pass so he got his wish just a few years too early. He always said he wasn't going to die until he ws 102! I always thought oh my how will I deal with that! :) Lee was a very good man, always so willing to help others. He adored his granddaughters and had everyone of them wrapped around his little finger! He was proud to be a Papa. His funeral was beautiful. Thank you to Larry and Bill for the talk and Eulogy it was wonderful. Thank you to all of you that took part in the funeral, I loved the music. Like I said in his Eulogy one thing I will miss is when he would say I love you Babe. He always tried so hard. The night before his passing he was doing his home teaching. During the week prior he had babysat for enrichment night and went on splits with the missionaries, I guess you could say he endured to the end. My family, friends and ward have been absolutely wonderful to me. They have made things so much easier to cope with and I thank each and everyone of you! The Releif Society was here before the firemen and paramedics left. We have been so blessed with the spirit here in our home it has been so comforting. Thank you for all the amazing food and time all of you have spent with me. A big thank you to Arlene and Shelley they took care of all of the funeral and cemetary arrangements, I didn't have to leave my house. They had me on speaker phone a few times but it was so much easier not having to be there in person. Shelley helped me write his Eulogy with the help of a lot of input from my kids and his family and my family. Thank you to Cammi and Bethany for the display of pictures they put in the foyer, it was beautiful. Thank you! Our R.S. President and Bishop have been amazing, thank you! Thank you to all of you that provided the beautiful music, I know Lee was there with us and was so thankful to each one of you Katie Winn in the ward is making four quilts for our granddaughters out of his shirts and ties. What a wonderful lady. Everyone has been such a great example to me. Thank you to everyone for the flowers, plants, cards,visits, food and help that you have given me. I know I am not thinking of everything but I am trying. The luncheon was beautiful and delicious, our ward went way beyond and made everything so nice! Thank you to my kids Jarrad, Nathan, Derek and Jessica you kids have been amazing and such a great support to me. I love you with all my heart! I am so proud of all of you I know it has been an exhausting 2 weeks. Thank you to Pauline, Lindsey and Tommy for all of your support and help. Thank you to Lees family for coming to his funeral from Wyoming, Utah and Nevada. I appreciate you. You have all been so thougtful and I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. We have cried and laughed together even though it is a hard and sad time we still were able to laugh and it felt so good. Mom and Kathy
