Day 69

Setting up at the Stake Center for the visitation was stressful and surreal. We wanted everything to be beautiful...a reflection of her. We displayed some of her art work and put out pictures of her through the years. Brittany, Cassidy and Dellany had worked hard to put together a DVD of photos from her life, put to her favorite music. It turned out so well, and was perfect for everyone to view as they waited in line. There were beautiful flowers everywhere, and so many people came from so far away to be there with us. My sister Dorothy and my brother Tim came from Canada and my twin sister Patricia and her whole family were there as well. I don't know what I would have done without Patricia and Dorothy and my girls in getting everything pulled together and getting the boys dressed in their little suits. Friends and family came from California, Logan, Vernal, Price and the Salt Lake Valley. We were amazed at the outpouring of love and support from so many...some of whom we haven't seen in years. Generous gifts of money were given for Jason and the boys as well. Everyone has been so very good to us. Because of Scandinavian Days and Graduation, there were no motels available, but a friend of Jason's had keys to empty student apartments that everyone could use as needed. It was a huge blessing for us and everyone from out of town.
