my dear ones going on having their children, for our children are the only things we can take with us into Eternity. That they teach, watch & guide them to instill faith into their hearts. That they will have the foundation to keep diligent & faithful, to see, to know what is their work. I am so thankful for the strength I have to be a help, that my mind is as clear as it is, praying that it will be right to the end. I have 7 living children, 41 grandchildren, great grandchildren, over 200 descendants. In February 1967 My Dear Mate has been gone 37 years I often wonder how much longer I will be here but I am not alone with all these dear kind children, their mates & all their dear ones to love & be loved by them. I am writing February 1967 in Tucson, Ariz. I was counting how many years it has been since I broke my leg, as I fell in Daisy's part of the home that she & Ivan built onto my home to be near me. As Ivan had work in Tucson I was gone from home so much they decided to move here they were so very kind, so thoughtful, they brought me with them. I hope I can always be a help. Now July 1968 I am still living I wonder why, what I can do yet, that I am staying on. What can I do to be a help. I have had a busy life for which I am very thankful, praying that as long as I live I can be helpful to these dear ones who are so kind, so helpful to me.

I am keeping record of the babies my Dear ones have as I kept it of my own, they are all mine. I love them every one, praying they will be faithful. November 1968 I am so thankful every one of mine are trying to carry out their work as the Lord wants them to be. I am not as strong as I would like to be, to be more help to my dear ones, praying I will have strength to be a help as long as I live.
