Grandkids Memories

Dakota-- My best memory of Grandma was when I was little. I loved dinosaurs and she would always take me to the dinosaur park in Ogden and we would look around. Then as we would leave we got to stop in the gift shop and she would buy me a plastic dinosaur. Needless to say I had quite a few dinosaurs because of all of our trips.
Shianne-- I remember visiting Grandma in Arizona. She took me to Mexico and made me sit on a donkey for pictures. I also remember her teaching me to sew during that trip.
Connor-- I remember going to Arizona and running around Grandma and Grandpa's house shooting Nerf darts everywhere. Grandma would always tell me she was finding the darts years later.
Bailee-- Hi my name is Bailee and my Grandma was and always will be special in these ways...me and Grandma snipped green beans, snipped not cut. My Grandma would much rather snip green beans then pluck chickens. I love you Grandma Mayfield!
Me and my Grandma loved to sew and make crafts together. She always had a lot of great ideas. My Grandma loved to help people. She loved to volunteer at her church. I hope to follow in her footsteps in helping others.
Me and my family will miss her in all different ways, but like my Aunt Tara told me: tomorrow will always come because we have a strong enough family and we will get through this together. Thank you all for coming it means a lot to me. I love all my friends and family. Thank you.
Brooklyn-- I remember singing country songs with Grandma at the condo after we had spent the day sledding.
Taylor-- Some of my favorite memories of Grandma are when I went on an airplane to Arizona with just my brother, Dakota and my cousin, Connor. When we got there, Grandma and Grandpa were waiting at the airport to take us to the house where their pet turtle and dog were waiting. When we made it to the house, we got to feed the turtle lettuce. The next day, we tried to cut our own fingernails, which didn't go to well. During our visit, Grandma took us to get some Nerf dart guns and we had the most awesome little "war" underneath the bridge next to their house. We still have them today. Then a couple of years after, when they came on a visit to Utah, Grandma took the whole family to go watch The Simpson's Movie, it was so much fun! I will never forget my Grandma ever and I miss her.
Marissa-- My memory of my Grandma was when I went to Arizona. I remember getting my hair and makeup done, swimming, making blankets and cuddling on the couch. I love my Grandma and I am so happy that I got to make these memories with her.
Bo--My favorite memories of Grandma are sledding in the mountains and spending Christmas with her.
Mason--My memory of my Grandma was when we went sledding and she would bring hot chocolate to warm me up.
Ryan-- I remember when Grandma took all of us kids on the Front Runner to Salt Lake and back.
Cassidy--My Grandma bought me giant sparkly diamonds, that I love!
Karson--I remember Great-Grandma holding me for the first time.

A Message From Angie

I wanted the chance to share some random thoughts and feelings about my mom’s passing with you all. Please do not let bitterness overcome you. I know it’s easy to be angry or wish things were different, but remember the good things. I know my mom would not have wanted anyone to have regrets. Take this and use it to make amends. Let everyone know how you feel about them. That is a true legacy to my mom.

While looking through my moms things, I came across a small notebook. It was a place that she kept a prayer list. It had only four or five pages filled out. There was one day I noticed she had every one of her brothers and sisters listed to pray for. In fact there wasn’t one day that someone in our family wasn’t on that list. My mother truly had a deep love for every one of you. I am so thankful to come from such a loving family.

My mom loved to laugh and found humor in almost everything. In looking through the book “God’s Survival Guide” my dad came across a saying: Do learn to laugh at the absurdities of life: Life has a lighter side – look for it, especially when times are tough – laughter is medicine for the soul, so take your medicine early and often. Don’t forget to remember my mom with laughter.

In the last few months my mom had been working very hard to get healthy. I am asking that we all continue on that journey together. Fight to be here! Live life to the fullest in her memory. I know that if just one person were to change their lifestyle it would make my mom happy.

I want to end by saying I am truly thankful for every second that I was blessed to spend with my mom. I will try and be understanding that God needed her, I don’t blame him she is so very special. The last verse of the song “You Belong Here” keeps playing over in my head: “and I will throw the door wide open, run to meet you at the gate. There will be a glad reunion. We have much to celebrate. You belong here. Welcome home.” I can so clearly see and feel my mom’s joy as she welcomes her loved ones home. So until that day comes I will remember the good times and miss her every second of every day. I love you all so much.
