Grandma Great - Dora Turley

Mother's Day, May 10, Ray took his Mother a lemon

meringue pie (her favorite).

Grandma has been in Priceless Adult Care for the

past three years. They took excellent care of her.
On Monday, May 18 Dora passed away peacefully
with her son Ray (Buster) and daughter Doreen by her side.
She was 101 years old. Verda, the nurse who took care of her
told us it was such a pleasure for her to care for Grandma.
She was always grateful and appreciative of everything,
she never complained, and was pleasant all the time.
Verda told us this was the happiest three years of her life.
Grandma raised eight children, she had 42 grandchildren,
117 great grand children, and 39 great great grandchildren.
She left a great legacy.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

On Mother's Day, I set my table with this china

in memory of my mother and to honor her.

This was her first set of china.

When she was first married (1938) she went to

work at the White Cafe in Winslow to get the money to

purchase this beautiful set. She put the 12 piece set

of china on lay away and worked until it was paid for.

My mother passed away last October at the age of 89.

She was a grand lady. She loved to cook and she

always set a beautiful table. The day before she died

she gave a dinner party and her table looked

beautiful and the food was excellent.

On this Mother's Day, I would like to honor

all woman by quoting from Matthew Cowley (a former

member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles (1976).

"You sisters belong to the great sorority of saviorhood.

You may not hold the priesthood. Men are different, men

have to have something given to them to make them

saviors of men, but not mothers, not women.

You are born with an inherent right, an inherent authority

to be the saviors of human souls. You are the co-creators

with God of his children. Therefore, it is expected of you

by right divine that you be the saviors and the

regenerating force in the lives of God's

children here upon the earth."

Women are the crowning jewel of all God's creation.

Ray attends Father & Sons Outing

Ray just returned from camping at Oak Flat. He attended the Father & Son's outing for our ward and it looks as though he had a great time.

They had lunch in Superior. Here is Camdon (grandson).
This is where he slept, in the back of his covered wagon which he designed himself.

Preparing food for the group with Skip.

Howard was able to come with us and he had a great time visiting with his friend Aaron. They both grew up together in this ward.

More preparation for a great meal.

Jaron & Camdon (grandsons) who are also in our ward were there.

Trevon (another grandson) & Richard were able to take Friday off and we all traveled together.

It was a great time!
