Until We Meet Again!

Grandma Jo was welcomed into the arms of our Lord and Savior last night, Wednesday at 10:20 P.M. She has been reunited with her dear husband and our father, son, parents, grandfather and great-grandfather and a host of family and friends. I know that Mom and Dad are so happy to be together again after 8 long years. Mother never got over the loss of Dad. It is so comforting to think of my parents together again and it brings a smile to my heart. I know she is so happy today hugging and loving Terry, her mother and father and baby brother. I will miss her every day but I know where she is and that she is young and happy, healthy and full of love and light. She is at peace and at one with God and her loved ones. Mother you are such a blessing to all of us. I know she will watch over us all everyday! She will always be in my heart! Love, Mom...Grandma Linda

Grandma Jo

This is a very difficult time for our family as we prepare for the loss of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. As she leaves our lives and enters her new life she will be reunited with her husband, son, her parents, her brother and a host of others. I am sure they are waiting with great joy to receive her. She will have an amazing experience in the next few days or even hours of her life here upon the earth. She has been loved and cared for by many people. Thanks to the Cambry house and hospice for all the angels that have loved and cared for her these past few difficult months of her life. It has been a difficult year for her. I am so grateful that she can go home now and be relieved of all of her worldly cares. She will return to a state of health, happiness, growth, beauty and love. We will miss her so very much but I feel honored to have called her mother. I have been so blessed to not only have an awesome mother but a very dear friend in my life. I will always remember her noble example to me and all of you as well. We have been blessed to have had her in our lives and for all the love she shared with each and every one of us. She loved us all with all her heart!

Adams Family Christmas Party

We had a wonderful time tonight visiting with our dear family. It was great to see so many all together at once. It was nice to hug and catch up on all the news in our families. What a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas. We had yummy food...soups, rolls, salads and desserts! We left with full hearts and tummy's! We look forward to seeing those who were not able to come soon. Grandma was missed tonight but I know she was with us in her heart. As Christmas comes lets remember the reason for the season...the birth of our Lord and Savior. We love you all! Merry Christmas!


We had a great time with my siblings, Debbie, Susan, and Kevin. It was also great to see my uncle Tom looking great after a tough summer of surgeries. Aunt Dorothy is making sure he stays healthy.

Our Candle Lighting Ceremony 2007
I am so very grateful that we started this awesome tradition in 1988. We have been sharing our love and gratitude for the "light of Christ" in our lives and the birth of our savior and I cannot believe that next year will mark a 10 year tradition! I appreciated all the sincere hearts that shared such tender feelings on Sunday night. As I looked around the room my heart swelled to see my wonderful family. I am so grateful for our three new baby granddaughters...Sophie, Sara and Aysha. They are all beautiful, healthly and loved. Each one of our precious grandchildren are loved and appreciated and important to us. We love each one of our children. Bret, Todd, Jason & Melinda, Bob & Keri Lynn. We are so blessed to have you in our lives.
We are so grateful to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. During this holiday season, remember that you are important and loved by us and many other people. We all have much to be grateful for, if we only take the time to notice. May your list of God's blessings be long and unending. Make it a wonderful holiday and a great new year...Merry Christmas!!! Mom

Candle lighting ceremony

Tonight our home was truly a "gathering place" as our family came together for our annual candle lighting ceremony. This ceremony signifies the light of Christ in our lives. There was good eats, fun for all and, oh yes, the candle lighting event in which each of us related the things we were thankful for. All in all it has been a very good year which has included the birth of three grand-daughters. All are well, happy, and I must say very "cute"! Linda also gave a presentation of the word "JOY" and how we must strive to incorporate it into our lives. "J" standing for Jesus, and how we should live by his example. "O" standing for oneness as in the atonement. Also standing for others, and obedience. And, "Y" meaning it all starts with you. We are so blessed with a great family that has grown year-by-year since we started the candle light tradition some 18 years ago. Merry Christmas to our wonderful family, we love you.

Tis the season!

Another Christmas season is upon us. Today we put our tree up, listened to our Christmas CD's and tried to muster up some Christmas spirit. While it is easy to get caught up in the commercial aspect of the season, we are trying real hard this year to concentrate on the true meaning of Christmas. "And so at this Christmas season, we sing His (Christ's) praises and speak our words of faith and gratitude and love. It is His influence in our lives that stirs within us more kindness, more respect, more love, more concern." President Gordon B. Hinckley. So at this Christmas time let us remember the Lord Jesus Christ in reverence and love. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and look forward to being with our family. We love you all!!

Adams Family Christmas Party!

We hope that all of you can make the party. It is a tradition that we want to continue. Even though Grandma can't be with us this year I am sure that it would mean so much to her that we are trying to honor her and Grandpa by continuing what they started so long ago. See you on December 15, 2007 at 6:30 P.M. Thanks for your support over the years... families really are forever. You are all so very important to us.
Love to you all!
