Dance Practice

The girls are taking dance classes with Tara Crosby, Precision Dance, and they love being out there performing. In these pictures they are at the SJHS football field learning their line-up for the performance tomorrow during half-time of the Lady Redskins soccer game.

Long Days

I am so glad Jacob was able to come up for Loretta Crosby's funeral. It was so good to visit with him for a while last night. I'm sure he didn't appreciate too much that I started dozing off while we were talking. It's been a couple of long days.

Today was a long day, too. Today was Loretta Crosby's funeral. There were a lot of people in attendance, and a lot of food. The RS Sisters put in a long day, some will still be working away long after this post is made. Thank you Terry J for doing the table cloths! There were dozens and dozens of sisters who helped with food and preparations for the funeral and luncheon. It still amazes me that so many come together and work so hard to make things go smoothly for the family on such a difficult day. I am so proud of the ladies in our ward. They really are jewels.

It was hard seeing Loretta in a casket although she looked amazingly at peace. She had just a hint of a smile. I know that my friend has started a new journey - a journey she has been looking forward to taking. I'm just a bit sad that she's already gone. I'll miss her.

Jacob has headed home. I'll miss him, too.

Another Friend Passes

Just a short while ago I learned another friend has passed away. Very few details are available at this time but Loretta Crosby was in Provo with her husband Jim to attend a wedding reception. After the reception they returned to the hotel. Jim went to check on Loretta and discovered she had died.

Loretta and I have become good friends over the years. She especially enjoyed the quilting classes we had at Relief Society. She was an avid genealogist and she was quite avid about all things scouting. We had a lot in common. I'm going to miss her.
