*Bringing home roast beef sandwich's from banquets at the Hotel Utah
*Famous banana splits with the Book of Mormon club
*Five white cleaned and ironed shirts for the boys every Sunday
*3 beautiful hand made dresses for the girls every Easter
*She loved pansies and yellow roses
*She had a beautiful manicured rose garden on the side of the house
*I remember her gorgeous red roses surrounded by white bridal wreath next to the front porch
*I loved summer nights sitting on the front porch with my mother
*I loved watching her work in the kitchen from the open grate in the bathroom upstairs
*Santa brought us the most beautiful decorated Christmas tree every Christmas Eve/mom must have stayed up all night for that one
*Sunday dinners, roast beef or roasted chicken, mashed potato's and gravy
*Family reunions at Bear Lake, mom was always in charge of something big!
*Many years of service in the Primary and PTA
*She always made each of her children feel that they were the special one
*I loved her warm arms giving me hugs
*She loved me unconditionally
