What a Very Special Surprise for me today!
Terry, Lynn's brother, and Cathy came for a visit today. They had some Very Special Exciting News for me...
Terry and Cathy have been called to be Temple Workers... in the Provo Temple, the one that is close to BYU. Terry will be working at the Vale. which is very special.
What a Special Blessing....I never dreamed Terry would be called to this position.
The Lord knows his children, and their hearts...even when they fight against the pricks, or what they know is right.
Not only will this bless Terry and Cathy, but also their family, and any body elts who has any connection to Terry.
They will be starting next Thursday.....Both their Bishop, and Stake President felt this was the right call for Terry and Cathy at this time....
I am so Excited for both of them. Lynn and I went through the Temple with them when they went through for the first time.....Cathy was a convert, she was not a member of the church when they were married. She is so excited to see the change that has come to Terry's heart.
Another piece of news is there is no cancer found in Terry's body now.... it is gone...

My Brother Bob...
July 24 2017...Utah Pioneer Day
On the 23 of July, I received a call from Robert Craig Brimhall, Bob's oldest son, who lives in St George. He had received a phone call from his dad requesting him to hurry and come to the hospital where Bob was, in Ogden Utah. When Robert found his dad in the hospital in Ogden. He was receiving chemo and other drugs because they had found he had cancer. The doctor informed him that Bob would only live two to three more days. He also notice that Bobs breathing was very shallow.
Robert stated that he ordered the chemo to be stoped along with all the other medications so that his dad could pass in peace. He was also having him moved to a nursing home, Oak Crest Nursing home, close by.
The next day Robert called me, on the 24th, to inform me that Bob had died.
Robert was upset because of Bob's current family, (3rd wife). about 20 people were in the room, arguing with each other. His body was taken to Leavitt's Mortuary in Ogden, where Bob had requested to be cremated. I had hoped to see Bob as it has been many years since I had seen him.
I asked, when I had entered the Mortuary, but was informed that there was no viewing at the request of the family. Later I found out Bob had been cremated before the services, at the family request.
For some strange reasons second families often feel that the children of the first family are not important, and have no place with them. Not realizing that their hearts are broken too. As has been the case with Ivan's children and Bob's from the first marriage. (Bob's wife Helen had died from a blood transfusion given to her from surgery, giving her Hepatitis C.)
Bob's children are out of state or on the border of the state line. His second family took no consideration to allow time for the kids to come for the funeral. They also dominated the funeral service, it was different, but not bad.
Jill, Bob's granddaughter, Tammy's only child, wrote the Obituary for the funeral home. I thought she did a great job, and tried to state facts and be fair to both families. Jill also has my mothers genealogy book that mom had kept. I think Jill's husband gave the opening prayer.
For the last few years the two families have been fighting where Bob was going to be buried when he died. Bob has a grave site in Provo City Cementery where his first wife is. Even has a tombstone with his name on it. But the second wife has said no, that he would be buried with her. She has been married before and all the family are hers. Bob had no children with Margaret. But their is a rumor around that she is seald to him in the temple. Helen, Bob's first wife, and Bob were married in the SLC Temple.
So his kids have been upset as to where they were going to find their dad, when they wanted to be close to him.
Leavitt's Mortuary was very beautiful, and the grounds were beautiful and peaceful.
I was hoping to be a hour early to visit with family, but was surprised to see we made good time and was two hours early. As we waited inside where it was cooler, I was also surprised to learn that Bob's funeral was the sixth one for the day.
Robert Craig came in and was talking with someone from the Mortuary. They brought a velvet bag to him. In the bag was a beautiful urn with some of Bob's ashes. After I took a picture he quickly took the urn out and hid it in his car.
The kids are wanting to have a simple marmoreal at their mothers grave, and perhaps bury the urn there with her. I also found out that their youngest brother Gary, has cancer. Robert told him, he would save the grave next to his mother for him.
Margaret and her family are planing to spread some of the ashes at a favorite camping spot, and the rest will sit on a shelf for about a year, until they decided what they want to do with the rest.
I was touched that four of the six boys, my brother Ivan has, came to Bob's funeral. Clyde, Robin, Richard, Randy and Randy's wife. My brother Verl came, and his daughter Pennie, drove him there.
Robert Craig, and Jill and her husband were the only ones who made it from Bob's family.
My daughter Paulette came with me, so I wouldn't be alone for the long trip.
I was glad she came, she was able to meet her cousins she had not met before both Ivan and Bob's funeral. Paulette made the comment that she felt more part of family, from these two funerals, than all of the Walker side of the family we have known, in all the years.
Verl and I are the only ones left of our family. Verl is eleven years older than myself.
He is worried, keeps saying he is next.
Ivan died March 16 2017 from Cancer, in SLC, buried in SLC
Bob died July 24 2017 from Cancer, in Ogden Utah
Update:
Robert Craig was able to bury the ashes he had, with his mother, at the Provo City Cemetery, in Provo Utah. I don't know what the other family will do with their part of the ashes...we may never know.

Angel Fish...
July 17 2017
During this last week my two large Angel Fish, in my 36 gal fish tank, laid eggs. They were very good parents taking care of them.
The large red tail shark in the tank all of a sudden found out he had a reason for the Angles to chase him, he usually ignores the Angels, they are too slow and don't pay attention to him. He loves a good chase. He is always chasing other fish, or going slow enough for the black molly to chase him.
Because of his threatening to the eggs, and the constant worry, the parents ate their eggs, which Angels will do.
As much as I didn't want to spend more money, that I don't have, I felt I needed to get a tank for the Angels by themselves. For It is not common to have a mated pair of Angle fish.

A Mother's busy day...
July 16 2017 Sunday
What a super busy day for Pauli....
Being Sunday I decided to go to church with Pauli and James in Tooele, at their new ward.
Today Pauli and James, had been assigned to give a talk from our recent General Conference.
As part of Pauli's talk she also included playing Abide with Me; Tis Eventide, on her harp, it was so beautiful.
After Sacrament meeting we went to the Bishop office where James was set apart to be the Executive Secretary to the Bishop.
Pauli took her harp home to protect it. Came back to church as it is her week to teach in Relief Society. The lesson was on the Priesthood. Pauli also played the opening and closing songs in Relief Society.
I was so touched by all the testimonies of how the sisters experienced the power of the Priesthood in their lives.....at all different times of life. And to remember that Father in Heaven has blessed us to be able to use his power to help us here as we need him.
Also was the tearful reminder that not all families have a Priesthood holder in their home, and how they long for it, and feel empty without it.
I think we don't realize how really blessed we are....
...........................................................................
Launie also has a new calling today as Family History Specialist in her ward, in Prescott Arizona.
It is raining real hard where she lives right now, her yard is flooded and its coming into her house...the pictures she sent to me looked terrible...
Her house sits low and the water runs off the road and onto her land.....not good...

A Special Blessing...
I was getting changed, in the dressing room for women, I reached to put on my slip, and saw blood. I checked myself all over and found no source of any reason why I would be bleeding, and for it to be on my slip. That was a very strange feeling.
As I met Lynn he told me of his experience, and I told him of mine....we were both surprised...
We also told one of the temple workers of the experience... His reply was "It happens all the time in the Temple"... Sacred things are protected.

Found a Memory....
I found some notes I had written when Lynn was having trouble with his illness back in 2015. They had been left in a yearly planner that I had.
June 2015
It feels strange all of a sudden, Lynn needing to have a oxygen supply.
During one week it seemed he couldn't quite get over a cold he had.... His Minears symptoms had returned.
Checking with Dr. Jones, Lynn's EMT, seemed to feel that Lynn's Minears seemed to be stable. He also noticed that Lynn's blood pressure was low and wanted him to go to the family doctor and get checked out.
I tried to get Lynn to go to the ER at the hospital but he refused...saying he would be getting a skan at Huntsman hospital on Friday. When Friday came Lynn was having a hard time breathing. I stopped at BOC oxygen Company, on the way to see if we could get a tank on oxygen that Lynn could use so we could make it to Huntsman, which was about a hour and fifteen minets to drive.
We learned Lynn had to have a doctor permission to have a tank of oxygen for daytime use.
At Huntsman I informed Lynn we were not going home after his skan, until he saw his doctor or nurse. His nurse while lessening to Lynn explain why he needed a tank of Oxygen, checked his chest and informed us that the only doctors around at that time was in the ER next door at the University Hospital. She also told me to get a xray of Lynns chest as she could hear something there.
As Lynn again was explaining to the ER doctor why he needed a tank of oxygen for daytime, I told him what Lynn's nurse had said. He immediately had a chest xray done.....I saw it when it came back. The Doctor said it looked like both of his lungs were covered in cotton candy, and some water in the bottom of the Lungs.
He said "Your not going anywhere!" and had Lynn admitted to the Huntsman Hospital.
Lynn was in for about two weeks.

A Priesthood Blessing....
During this last week I requested a Priesthood blessing from my Home teacher, Bro Rilley. He also asked Bro Trapp to come.
I had asked for a Priesthood blessing because a man by the name of Dennis, Tony Walker's friend, had come to my house. When he found me not at home, he went over to the Grua's home and started asking questions. I was not comfortable that they were coming to my home after Lynn had died. Trying to get me to sell to them a piece of property that belongs to Troy, and had accidentally been put into Lynn and Judys name, Lynn sister. both were trustees of their fathers estate. When Lynn died it came to me.
The Blessing Bro Rilley gave me was very special. As he spoke I could feel a sweetness present. It was like it was at the time Lynn had passed. Just sweetness filling the air. I believe that someone from the other side of the vale was present, and stayed in my home through the night, being with me and comfort to me. It reminded me of the feelings that were present when Lynn passed.
When I told Cory Grua, (our Stake Patriarch ) about this experience, he said Angels were present.
