Mom is out of surgery. It wasn't' but a few minutes after she went in that the surgeon called us into a conference room and let us know he would not be able to do surgery on Mom. The Ovarian cancer has filled her abdomen and they are unable to get to the blockage, which by now there is more than one.

He put a tube into her stomach draining out her side so the tube in her nose going into her stomach could be removed and she would be more comfortable. She will be able to have liquids and liquid food until she passes away which could be a few days to the outside chance of a couple weeks.

Mom isn't back to the room yet from surgery, but we know she will stay here at the hospital probably two days then to Janet's for Hospice care.

We were somewhat prepared for the results we received, but it doesn't lesson the pain. Our hearts are broken, but we are excited for her to join Daddy, David, Jared (Marti's son) Matthew (Lori's grandson) her brother Boyd, who passed away 2 weeks ago, and of course her amazing parents, who were responsible for raising such an amazing daughter.

Please feel free to send any well wishes here.
Janet's address:
6890 S. 475 East
South Weber, Ut
84405

Thanks for all your love and concern - Mom loves us one and all.

Hello! This note is for Grandma! I hope you are feeling well! I surely think of you and hope for the best. I wanted to just let you know something that I may not have ever told you.
When I was five my Grandmother (that I was really, really close to) passed away. I have one other Grandma that has refused to be a part of our lives on many occasions and has disapeared for years without a trace, only to jump back in again and do it all over. She has hurt all of us in my family on numerous occasions. I have never had a Grandmother in my adolescence or adult years.
When I met you and Grandpa I felt an immediate bond. It may be the longing for a set of Grandparents in my life, but I think it was more than that.
You are the only Gradma that I have truly known. You are such a strong woman, you have such vision and you are extremely smart and talented. I feel like you are a very special person in this world. I wanted to thank you for the example you have been to me, for the love you have shown me and for the wonderful person you are. I know that I am the luckiest woman in the world to have had a chance to know you and Grandpa and want so very much for you to know how much I truly love and look up to you!
Our prayers are with you during your struggles and we hope that you will feel better. we'll try and make it up there again to see you soon!
Love you!
Celeste

Grandma-

We thought of you our entire time in Nauvoo. I can't believe it was almost 15 years ago that you and Grandpa were there singing and doing the demonstrations. We posted some pictures for you, hoping it will bring back many memories.

Hello my friend, Just a note to let you know how I feel and many others feel of you. In my eyes you were an example to me and a mother for whom I needed in my life, for taking me into your lifes for a short while will last forever in my heart. I have a mother who I love so very dear. Thank you for being there for me in a time I needed a Mom. You have accomplished many things in this life. You have touched many lifes. You have touched mine. I love you and you will always be remembered in my heart. I Love you Rosie
