As I was going down to feed my grandma I was listening to some BYU station and my thoughts turned to an old friend Jewell who passed away on Friday from Cancer. She was one of those people you don't forget she definately left a lasting impression on me. I regret not keeping better tabs on her. I first met her in our ward in Rexburg she was over Enrichment when I was in the RS presidency. She was outgoing and always willing to help. I remember on a few occasions we went walking together. While I was in Indiana one summer I got word that she had her baby 6 weeks early little Jamison.They were in our ward for a little longer then Scott graduated and they moved to Washington state. I lost track of her then but a few months ago on of my friends who visit taught her asked if I remembered Jewell Milam and I said yeah who could forget her. She then proceded to tell me she was dying of cancer. As of right then they were just treating her for pain not for the cancer. She has been on my mind since that weekend I found out and it just made me sick inside that such a good person would be taken from her husband and two children. But it is a good thing we have that gospel because I am sure without a doubt that she was needed on the other side and there is no doubt in my mind where she is. She was an amazing person who touched many lives. This post is mostly for myself, but I am sure others will feel of her spirit as they read this post! My prayers go out to Scott, Jamison, Callie and their familes! We sure love ya!!

That is so great that you are able to feed Grandma. Please give her a hug for me!
