Mary Steck

Mary is my Dad's cousin. As I recall, I first met her when I was 10 or 11 years old around the time of Dad's funeral. Thereafter, she made the trek from CA to ID about once a year to visit us and other relatives. I knew her to be a cheerful, loving family-oriented person. More recently, she encouraged and supported my wife and I as we cared for children with disabilities who had relatively short lives. My life has been blessed through this dear lady. I am sure she is having a happy reunion with her cousin and his grand-children who are now beyond the veil. May Stacy, Ethan and all of Mary's loved ones know that we share in your sadness for being separated for a time from one of God's faithful daughters. Justin Jenson

Dear Stacy and Ethan, I am very sorry that I could not attend the graveside service in Logan. I wanted to but we were snowed in up here in Cub River. We even had to miss our temple assignments on Wed. and Thurs. I extend my love and sympathy to both of you and hope that you will be comforted that death is not the end. I love Mary, she was so good to send Christmas presents to me and all of my children after Bill passed away. In fact I am still using the little jewelry box she gave me years ago. I remember the fun times when you came to visit; the Easter you came and we rolled eggs down Y Hill. Stacy sent a lot of nice photos she had taken; one in particular was my clothes line in the back yard with probably 25 pair of Levis on it. She wrote cute sayings on each photo. They are still a treasure. As I remember , one of you got bitten by our dog and you went to the Dr. but cannot remember if you had to have shots. At any rate the dog was put down. Here's about my family. All of my children got degrees in the Ag field except Cynthia and she is a teacher. Can't figure how they loved it so much . Would love to hear from you both! Sincerely, Ruth Ann
