lasting legacy

your last house you designed on earth is getting close to being done MOM...again i will be wrapped in your love..all walls of the house you designed for us will be your arms..protecting me and your grandchildren from the storms that blow in this earthy life..keeping us warm when times get cold..or when times get too hot to handle...you made home like that...a safe haven from earthly storms..so that we could be safe and comfortable never worrying..the walls you provided for our house we grew up in were strong..warm...and encasing...i told jaime that it was soo cool that when you got old and finally passed away i would have something of you that would live on forever...who knew it was to be sooooo soon...but yet i do have it...thanks MOM... wood floors will be going in in a couple of weeks and the garage door maybe this week after which the cabinets driveway ect...i was hoping to have it done by mothers day...but i dont think it will...unless you can pull afew strings...hahaha... so far things that ive seen that makes me know your around are...1. i got a job at my work to recreate a design...and of all the school logos...it was your school the jordan beetdiggers whats the chance i here in st. george utah would be doing something for your school in salt lake city....next was when we sold your pathfinder..the car your hand picked for the seating for the grandchildern and loved and said would be your last car...well the people that bought it was around your age and the lady wanted it to carry her grandchildern...and after talking with the couple and saying why we were selling it...they said oh was that your mom i read her obituary...and then her husband said i was montes scout leader when he was a kid...althought he went by monty then...another connection..to let us know your there...so monte she was thinking of you too...she sought out someone how knows you..after all you turned out great...and she wanted someone who knew you to have the car. it funny how life has sooo many things that are circles...you start out at one point and everything come back to that piont agian to let you know every thing is not random but is a eternal plan or let you know you know you never alone...next is the color for pancreatic cancer is purple...i look in your house right now..all i see is a mass of purple...and lilacs you love is"PURPLE' and that tree you ordered on online thats out front and has flowers on it"PURPLE"... purple is the color when i think of you.. dad has been working out in the yard alot..lots of flowers...its pretty...hes doing good..still is always thinking of you...as all of us....but over all i am happy hes found a drive to keep going..i worried about him after you left..he seemed to be dead...but now life is flowing.. love ya MOM..your little boy shane

Your so lucky to have a home that Mom helped with! What a great thing to know that she surounds you! I Love You!

I want to get more seeds from the Lilac trees, both of them and try and grow more trees. Then you can have both!! :)

Wow, your house looks amazing. I remember your mom with a note book with squares on the pages that she would sketch home plans on. I loved the house plan in Silver Reef that she designed. How lucky to have one of her beautifully designed home. I love reading your posts and hearing you keep her legacy alive! Makes her right here with us!!
