Tribute to our Granddaughter

    Our sweet beautiful  granddaughter was tragically taken from us last night. She had gone out with her 3 friends, two boys and a girl. Her parents expected her home at 11: 30 p.m. but she didn't return. She was always on time. They knew something was terribly wrong. So a search party was sent out.  Police and Helicopters searched the area.
     Her Dad was a Volunteer fireman and his friend were searching too. About 5:a.m. they found the car they were in down an enbankment and resting in a creek at the bottom. No one survived the horrific crash. Da Nae Gough was only 14 years old.
   She was lovely young girl, full of life and vitality. She loved Volleyball and her team had won all the tournaments this year. She had lots of friends.  She loved her cousins who lived close by. She always had a big smile for everyone.  She was strong in the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. She excelled in all she did. Everyone loved her especially her Father. She was his baby and his favorite buddy. They did lots together.

  She will be missed dearly by all who knew her.

Our Ward Service Project

In April, I was assigned to find a six month Service Project for our Relief Society Sisters to do. I phoned around and finally came up with a Pillowcase and Quilt project. I challenged the Sisters to make 350 pillowcases for the Childrens Hospital to give to the sick children.The Young Women wanted to help too, so I told them they could make pillowcases and receiving blankets for the babies. Also the Hospital told me they could use quilts to give to the sick children too. So our challenge was 80 quilts to be finished by September 30, 2011. So I had quilting bees in my backyard until June, until it got too hot to do it outside anymore. Once a week we have potluck and tie quilts at the Church now. We have accomplished our goal of 80 quilts. We already have 185 beautiful childrens quilts.We have have some neat spiritual experiences. On young lady named Ellen about 25 years old had an eye problem and couldn't see very well, at first she couldn't see how to tie a quilt, but she kept trying and learned to do it. Also she learned how to sew the small quilt squares together. Now  she is making a making a small baby quilt for her niece for Christmas. Seven, other ladies learned how to sew pillow cases and quilt blocks together.  We are still working to make more until the end of September. Then we will deliver them to the Hospitals, where they are needed. We have currently  315  pillowcases finished ready to deliver to the Hospitals and 198 small quilts for children. My friend Elaine Jones helped me deliver  the quilts and pillowcases to the County Hospital in Phoenix and the Carden Childrens Hospital in Mesa, Arizona.
