Our dear Aunt Judy has been gone and missed for an entire year! She passed away on January 6th 2008. We all miss her, think of her and speak of her often. She was an elect lady and a HUGE example of love and strength to me. Valerie mentioned just the other day that she was a good aunt and grandma! That she was! (is) We miss you!!!

There are so many more...I could go on and on... but you get the point!!! Have you ever been to a RELAY FOR LIFE fundraiser? Here is your chance:
The last two years I have in one way or another participated in the "Relay for Life" Cancer R
elay. If any of you out there have ever been touch and or heart broken over the words "Cancer" this non-profit organization is worth while to get involved with. This year I am actually on the Relay Committee. I am over the FOOD!! It is a bit scary knowing that the amount of people who where fed last year and the amount that were not! But I am excited because this is a BIG deal! I have a hand full + of people I know and have been close to who have past from this deadly monster.... I also know a few or a lot who have survived!!! Due to cancer research people can and will continue to survive! Last year the Sanpete County Relay raised $25,000.00 (around) which was HUGE!!!! I am so honored to be apart of this Organization! If you are interested in being apart of our Relay committee or if you would like to organize your own family team please contact me through this blog!! We will be having a Team Relay Kick off on Feb. 2nd (Monday). If you come ready with a team there will be a discounted price. Each team needs at least 12 members. Pleas
e be apart of this! I know you have been affected one way or another by this disease. The relay is the 4th weekend in June! It is a HUGE night...and memorable! My Jentrie had tons of fun last year..she lasted until 1 am and walked over 2 miles :) and played LOTS!! Please Join! (Check blog post in June about last years blog! We had so much fun!! And it is worth while!!)

Okay I love the picture of Aunt Judy, It totally made me cry, I miss her so much. I thought of when Harrison said Aunt Judy you have a raisin in your tooth!! I will never forget that, it was so funny. We love and miss her so much and think of her all the time as well.
Hi! Hope you and your cute family had a wonderful holiday season! It's hard to believe that they are over. It has been awhile since we've seen you guys...hope to see you again soon :) Take care!
Wow! Can't believe it's been that long already! We all love and miss her so much, and that picture is the greatest! What an amazing woman, I was SO blessed to not only know, but become family :)
