I've been thinking a lot lately about my good friend Marjory. While I was down in Utah I was able to spend a little time with Marjory and her mom, Linda. I don't get to see Marjory very often anymore and I hadn't seen Linda in over five years. Less than two weeks after I saw them Linda passed away.Linda and Jeb always treated all of Marjory's friends as if we belonged at their house. We were always welcome and always felt comfortable there. I especially appreciated that feeling since I was so far from my own family at the time. They included me in their family when I wasn't able to join my family for Thanksgiving. They opened their home for parties and group get-togethers. I'm sad to think that when I go back to visit she won't be there.
I'm so glad I got to know Linda and I'm glad I got to see her one last time. When I saw her last month she still smiled and laughed about things, even though I know she didn't feel well.
My thoughts and my prayers are now with Marjory, her dad, and her brother.

Oh Meg, I'm very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to your friend's family.
PS. Are you going to post that memory thing on your blog? I have a few I wanted to write... ;)
That is so sad. I'm glad you got to visit with them that day. (That was while you were in Vernal, right?)
So sorry to hear about the loss of your friends' mother. I am glad you got to see her one last time.
