September
19, 1989 - Letter from Linda
Dear
Rog, Gwen and kids, It
was so good to hear from you! Sounds to
me like you will actually be glad when winter arrives. But I do understand. Seems like when it's summer there's lots of
extra outside work to do. How are you
guys all doing? I bet the baby is really
growing fast. Do the kids like school
and do they have good teachers? I can't
believe that Zac's old enough to be baptized!
Pretty soon they will all be as old as my kids and then you can't figure
out where the time has gone. I sure miss
my gang a lot! Some days it's really
hard. But they are on my mind constantly.
I'm glad you see them once in awhile.
Rog, you better talk to Darrin, he'll go hunting with you this
year. Course he might show you up. I don't know why that little fart doesn't
write! I guess they aren't too homesick
for us. What's with your well? Do you have to drill another one? How did the other tree you transplanted work
out this summer? We haven't been up to
much here. I put in my paperwork for a
job last week. We've been going to the
beach a lot. Todd is really a good
snorkeler. I've been learning how to,
but I get nervous if any thing rubs against my legs. He's found some real nice big shells. Has Gwen been working a lot? I bet she's glad to have Mark home. I bet he's changed a lot huh? Well, I 'll close now. I'm going to cut Bruce's hair (I guess) So
we'll write later. Write soon, Love
Linda
Dear
Zac, (Letter from Todd)
How
are you doing? Everything is fine
here. No, none of my family is sick
right now. How is your family doing? Is it cold there yet? Do you ever ride your horse, or Uncle Don's
3-wheeler? I wish I was there to ride it with you. I guess we're having fun over
here. I wish you could come and go snorkeling with me. Do you ride your bike
to school? I walk across the street and
I'm at my school. We go to the beach or
somewhere almost every weekend. Are you
going to wrestle or play soccer next time it starts? Love Todd
(These
next two letters were written from Lynette's girls to Amanda. I have no idea of the date)
Dear
Amanda, How are you doing? I'm doing
fine. I just wanted to right (sic) to
you to say Happy Birthday. I all ready
wrote to Keysto and after I get done right with you. I bet you will get a lot of toys and I get
you will have fun playing with them. I
wonder what your birthday cake is going to be?
I bet it is going to be good. If
your mom makes it, it will be good. I
hope everything is going fine. Love,
Sommer
Dear
Amanda, I can't wait for you to come over at our house! It will be so fun when you come. We could go sledding, and play dolls, watch my
new 19" television. It's color and
has cable too! I got it from Christmas. I think I told you about it when I came up
there. But I told you again, ok? P.S. I really miss you and your family! See you soon!
Love, Brooke

December
14, 1989
Allot
has happened since August. My diet
fizzled, and I'm back to baby beef. Zac
was baptized by Mark and confirmed by my dad.
Kids are all well and doing great at school. Dawna and Ray are getting married
tomorrow. Uncle Don is getting his
endowments Saturday. Aunt Lene and Aunt
Dixie and Uncle Paul are home from their missions. Tragedy happened yesterday. Caprice Tucker died of apparent heart
attack. She was 31, and leaves behind
Kevin and 5 kids, ages 12-2. It's so
sad. The whole community is shocked and
saddened. I feel so bad. I worked with her in Primary when my Zac and
her Megan were babies, and then again in 1985 when we lived at mom's. It's so
hard to accept. I pray for her
family. I love my kids so much. I need to be a better mom to them. I hope I don't die and leave them, but we
never know, do we? I'm glad I'm a mom
and wife and I need to try harder to teach my kids what is right and to set a
good example. Life is hard, but it will
be worth it if we endure to the end. I'm
so sorry Caprice's end came so soon. It
is SUCH a shock, it's unbelievable. It
hits SO close to home. I can't believe
she's gone. We are not ready for
Christmas yet. Still allot to buy.
