We would like to thank all her neighbors, friends, and ward members for all their help and consideration in helping mom and Nathan, and the outstanding care given by Envision Hospice Care and Myers Mortuary.

Mom loved as Jesus did; gave so much too so many in love and understanding. She lived the gospel as one should in every word and deed. She will be missed by too many to count, but especially her husband, Nathan. She's just going home... ..
