Thursday 23 May 2013

Our thoughts have been in Beazer this week, thinking about the Purnell family, Lee, Wendy, Jackie and Ken.
Don's oldest sister, Wynona, passed away earlier this week, and today she will be buried in the perfect, little
Beazer cemetery. 

Wynona was a good sister, good sister-in-law and a great aunt to my children.  I admired and loved her.
Whenever we visited, she wanted to catch up on what each of our children were doing. That was appreciated.

All who knew Wynona will agree that she was one of a kind.
Of all the women that I know, it is Wynona who could have been a CEO of a large company.
And, she could have done it almost by herself.

She was creative enough to have the idea.
She was artistic enough to formulate the design.
She was smart enough to get the company organized.
She was tough enough to make sure that it was a success.
And, she was happy enough to have fun while doing it.

Her life didn't take her on the CEO path, but she lived her life with the same
kind of creativity, intelligence, and work ethic, and all the time being the life
of any party.  Her husband and children and grandchildren were her life's work.
She was a success!

Wynona, whenever I see my lovely oil painting of the Cardston Temple, I will think of you and remember that
it is your work.  Whenever Don and I double over laughing about something, even when we should be crying,
we will think about you.  Your example has helped us all.

That was really sweet....thanks for posting it. It was really nice to see some of your kids at the viewing and funeral. Very nice of them to come.
I don't like this at all....but such is the nature of life
