In Loving Memory

My mom was an awesome mom, she had a smile for everyone and made friends easier than anyone I've ever known. I will miss her more than words can say. Thank you so much mom, and please say hi to Dad for me! I Love you very much! Glenn (Paul) Sneddon

I love and will miss my mom so much, I just feel I will never get over the hurt. She was kind and understanding. She would just stop and talk to anyone, so extremely friendly. She has so many people who loves her. I will pray for her happiness always tor her to be with my father and all of the other people who love her. I wish one day I would have that many people will care about me the way they love my mother. She did so much for us all the time. I remember her doing all of our hair every night for school. She always had dinner on the table when dad got home from work. I know it will take a long time if ever to get over her lose. I will love you for ever mom! Shirley A. Childs Las Vegas, NV

I am so glad I had the opportunity to have you as my friend. I enjoyed doing all your little tasks that you had me do around your house. The best was being able to spend your 80th birthday dinner with you. We had a wonderful time and it was so enjoyable. May you rest in peace. Love you Richard

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Sneddon Family. Mavis was a remarkable woman. My sister and I were recalling all of the fun family get togethers we would have at Mavis and Ted's Vidas Avenue home. Laughter always filled that house when were there. Sometimes a little too much! Paula and I will always cherish the fond memories of those days gone by. To Carole, Joan, Linda, Shirley and Glenn Paul, may you be comforted knowing that your mom was very special to us and we always felt her abundant love for her entire family.

This message is for your whole family, and especially for Linda and Joan who I grew up with. You lived across the street from our good friend Marilyn Marshall, and I lived a few doors from the church on 3rd east. I only remember meeting your mom once. It was on Christmas day. She seemed to be a lovely woman and was gracious to me. Linda, I was with you in the car when we had that head on wreck when Lynn Dayton tried to pass another car on an icy road, on the way to school, when we were sophomores at Granite High. I remember you were thrown out of the car when we crashed, and had a lot of injury. I hope you healed well, and that you and Joan have a happy life. My mother was the ward drama director and worked with Joan in a play called Keep Your Halo Straight. I was in the play too, and we had a lot of fun, and won 1st in region. Do you remember? Marilyn is now Marilyn Nickle. Her cell phone number is 801 -9161109. I know she would love to hear from you. I am happy to know that you were able to enjoy your parents for such a long time. My parents died in 1984. Remember all the great and good things about your mom, and forgive all the rest. I am grateful that I have a chance to wish you well, and to remember a friend from my teenage years. The video was lovely! God bless you and yours. With love, Lynn Goodspeed
