To the world a great mother. I was just thinking about the time Marcie brought home Mr. Pew chicken under her arm. And told my mother it just followed her home. Or the time Marcie brought a toad home & it had babies in the house. After that Mom made us stand out on the front porch & have us empty out our pockets before coming in the house. And the time she stood on the front porch late at night & tried to talk with the two people that were stealing my mom & dad ten speeds bikes thinking it was are family friend Michael Skaggs & his friend. They would leave a note on the window and let my mom & dad know that they had borrowed the ten speeds bikes & would be back later with them. Also wish me & my sisters could go play in the Kanab creek one more time & Have my mom meet us when we come home. Sure do miss the little thing like call her on the phone & ask how her day was going. Or how she let up when seeing the grand kids. And talking with them. Also when we would all get together to do S’mores around the camp fire. I will all cherish the time and the memories we had with you. Thank you for being the worlds greatest mother & grandmother Love your son Dallas
