The Party

Grandma's party was a great success and we had more people come than I could have hoped for.
Grandma was overcome with joy as she saw each person arrive.  Her memory was sharper than usual, she was in great spirits and she looked beautiful.  I loved seeing her so happy.

 Grandma arriving at the church with her sister-in-law Pat Nix and her son Scott, where she announced, "there really is a party!"

 Grandma with her brother-in-law Kasey DeYoung, who lost his wife Pat in the past year.

 I love this photo because of her finger.  She is a pointer.

 Me and Miss Q, who slept through most of the event.


 The arrival of Marie Newton, Grandma's long time friend and roommate that she hasn't seen in years.  They served 3 missions together and lived in Grandma's house as roommates for years.



 Jennifer Crist, Adrian Young, Stephen Samuelson, Scott Samuelson, Shauna Samuelson and Melissa Samuelson Turley
