Sharon Boyce's Parents‏


Hi Myrna and family,
 
Sharon Boyce is mom and dads great granddaughter.  She is the granddaughter of Roberta and I.  She is the daughter of our daughter Peggy and her husband Ernie Strong.
 
We have heard some wonderful things about Kirsten and her husband.  When Sharon and Tim were living in Colorado, Kristen tended Sharon and Tim's son (Ammon) for her, she brought food to Sharon, and Kirsten's husband fixed Sharon's teeth.  I'm sorry that I don't remember Kirsten's husband's name.
 
We have been so appreciative of how Kirsten and her husband treated Sharon and her family.  They performed many acts of kindness.  We feel a great deal of love for them, 
 
Sharon's cancer is in remission right now.  However, the damage done to her by the Chemo.
has been devastating to her health.  She is on oxygen, she has a great deal of scar tissue around her heart, she retains a great deal of water in her tissues, and has damage to her mouth and teeth.  Sharon is a fighter, and has a positive attitude
 
Sharon and Tim have a new baby girl who is about two months old.  Tim did get to come home and see that new daughter soon after she was born.  They didn't think they would be able to have more children after the Chemo.
 
Apparently, Tim had a congenital aneurysm that ruptured.  It is so sad.  He was a great husband, father, and grandson in law.  We will miss him.
 
We had our family Christmas party on December 18, and Sharon, Ammon and Grace (the new baby) were t;here.  Grace was Roberta's mother's name.
 
The viewing will be this Thursday, and the funeral will be at 11:00 a.m. on Friday at a ward in Farmington.  That is where Tim's parents live.
 
Well,  our thanks again for your concern, and for Kirsten and her husband's help and love.
 
Love,
 
Gordon and Roberta
