Jalene Raff
For Grandmas funeral we would like to display the many quilts she made. Please pass the word to family members to bring any blanket grandma made to the funeral on Thurs. Pin your name on your quilt. Drop it off in the gym and the Gurneys will hang it. We would like them there by 10:00 if possible so we can get them hung before. Also please remember to take them home after. Thank you.

In my dreams we will walk together.
I had the most vivid dream of Grandma last night. It was very comforting and made me feel so happy. I had a dream that I was napping on her couch in the living room. She was sneaking around, like she does when you are sleeping. I saw her out of the corner of my eye and I turned my head and followed her movement. I couldn't believe how well I could remember and picture her. It was a great comfort to me and we laughed together.

Grandma's Favorite Scriptures Story
Grandma and I wrote letters once and a while back and forth when I was about 13. She relayed to me that her favorite story was the Brother of Jared when he asked to see the Lord's finger.
Mahonri or the Brother of Jared was then instructed to build "barges" or boats to journey across the sea. After building the boats, Mahonri worried about how the insides of the boats would be lit during their The Lord told Mahonri he should figure out a way to light the boats, and so the Brother of Jared produced sixteen stones from molten rock, two for each ship, and they were white and clear, just like transparent glass. Mahonri then asked the Lord to touch each stone he had made so they would shine in the darkness.
The Lord touched each stone with his finger. Mahonri watched as the Lord did this and fell to the ground in fear. Mahonri was to write down what he saw in his own language, which no one would understand, and his record would be revealed after Christ had been lifted upon the cross. (When Mosiah interpreted the account, he was instructed that these things were not to be revealed until after his people had been visited by Christ.)

3 Nephi--Chapter 13
Jesus teaches the Nephites the Lord’s Prayer—They are to lay up treasures in heaven—The Twelve in their ministry are commanded to take no thought for temporal things—Compare Matthew 6. About A.D. 34.
1 aVerily, verily, I say that I would that ye should do alms unto the poor; but take heed that ye do not your alms before men to be seen of them; otherwise ye have no reward of your Father who is in heaven.
2 Therefore, when ye shall do your alms do not sound a trumpet before you, as will hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have aglory of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.
4 That thine alms may be in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret, himself shall reward thee openly.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where amoth and rust doth corrupt, and thieves break through and steal;
20 But lay up for yourselves atreasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
22 The alight of the body is the beye; if, therefore, thine eye be csingle, thy whole body shall be full of light.

I heard this song in the car.
Jim Reeves--Welcome to My World
Grandma, How does your garden grow?
My Grandma had me convinced that I was the most precious beautful girl in the world. She has always lifted me up. The last time I saw her she still says to me "Amy, your a beautful girl." Just so simply and sweetly. She would kiss me on my cheek and smile at me with that twinkle in her eye. Like I was a prized beauty in all the world and you better know it. It had better be told. Then you won't have to wonder. Bless you grandma for all those little moments you gave me. You let me climb on your lap and you would stroke my hair. We would discover something new and amazing together. My inner beauty and strength definitely blossomed and was groomed by you.
