Yesterday we drove over to Montpelier to attend a funeral memorial service for Lois Lee Hulme. She died last week in St. George where they had lived for the last several years. She was a wonderful person who was always very active and in the service of others, especially with her gift for music and her willingness to share it with so many people over the years. She had an infectious smile and always left one feeling better after being around her and having the chance to visit with her. She was 87 years old at the time of her passing and will be missed by many and welcomed by even more.
When we walked into the Montpelier Third Ward Meeting House/Stake Center my mind couldn't help but reflect on the many great experiences of the years we were in the Montpelier Third Ward. From the moment we entered the door of that building we felt like we were at home and could be of service to others while we lived there. We met hundreds of wonderful people who touched our lives and the lives of our family for good. Our lives were certainly enriched by the people we came to know and love in Montpelier and it was good to see and visit with so many of them while we were at Lois Lee's memorial services. Many of our friends are now growing old and some have already departed this life, but the impact they had on our lives will last forever. We asked Ralonna Petersen to snap a picture of us as we were leaving for the sake of good memories. Iris looks much the same as she did then, but the years are beginning to take a toll on me as you can see in the picture below.

You both look great. I miss the old third ward. Haven't been there for so long.
