and for the preserving care of our Heavenly Father. I am praying that as long as I live I will be useful & able to write to the absent ones & hear from them , that my mind will be clear to the end. The
following Sunday I went to the Mother's Day program & to the evening Sacrament meeting. March 1963 I am with Daisy. A month before Christmas I spent with Josephine, her Anthony is finishing his mission & will go to school after. My dear ones write, some more often than others, their letters are such a comfort to me. I am so thankful for their faithfulness. Last year there were 10 babies born into the family, Floyd, Tani & Sharon found their mates & were married to good L.D.S. I am so thankful for the faith of everyone, for their kindness as I didn't get to the Richey Family Reunion last year. I felt very sad that some of mine didn't try harder to get me there. Daisy. Hugh & I worked so hard to get the organization going. Now Hugh is in charge & I know he will keep it going faithfully.
December 1963 I am still with Ivan & Daisy & David in Tucson & enjoy them & all of theirs. Every one are so kind to me. I am able to go to meetings, to write to any dear ones. I am so very thankful for the strength of body & mind that I have, that I can be useful & helpful that I can see to read & sew. September 24th, Ted & wife & baby came from Alaska on their way to visit Jay & Mable. They
took me with them. I had a wonderful visit

for weeks with Jay, Mable & Scharlotte's children. Jay & Mable brought me home, on our way they stayed to visit in St.Johns so I got to see most of my dear ones there. I enjoy being here & seeing Dwyn & family quite often Sharon & Ray bring their baby to see us & Tani & Paula come. Ian has been home on a furlough, he will be out of service soon to be home with us. During spring I had a good visit with Josephine & John at Valentine & their children in Mesa. Now John is down with a heart attack. I write to my dear ones often & their letters are a comfort to me. John was soon better I was 86 years old when I fell & broke one leg, I get around pretty well now. April 22nd, 1964 I am 92 years old. I stay most of the time with Ivan & Daisy but as she has had a heart attack & is in the hospital, at times I am alone with David her son at school & Ivan gone to work. As Jay & Mable came to see us I came with them to their home in Las Lunas. I am enjoying my stay with them as I do visiting with all my dear ones. Every one are so kind, I am glad I can still do useful things to help. I make jackets of pretty pieces, making them blend so the color doesn't clash then make pretty stitches on the seams, they like them. I made one for myself, a shirt each for Leigh & Jay. My dear ones are all so kind to me I am so thankful for that, for their love. They are all trying to live the gospel & teach their children
