To Olena Blackham About Funeral Arrangements for Ila Pay

Helen called at said that Ila had died. She did not know when the funeral might be. She said for us to watch the paper but it was not in the Deseret News today. Do any of you know when it is? Thanks, Myrna

Talked to Neldon yesterday.  Haven't heard from him since.  They were thinking about Monday but since it is a holiday they decided not to have it then.   At this time we don't know.

Will keep you informed when we hear anything.  Neldon usually talks to Virden as it is easier for him to hear on the phone than me.

Love,
Olena

To Braden About Money

Myrna wrote:

Can we contribute next month? We just got back from Kirsten's and we are a bit short on cash. We would love to help out and wondered if that would be too late? It is two more weeks and that may be too long. You know that we could do the $10 right now but we were thinking the $50 would be nicest.

Oh, you heard about our flood? Uncle Shawn put a new release valve on the water heater and Aunties AnnMarie and Julie cleaned up all the water so that when we got back from Auntie Kirsten's the basement was dry and clean. Three cheers for all of their hard work. We are fine but poor Auntie Kirsten is not well even now.

From Braden Bolton:

Yes. You don't have to do that right now. I might close down the page if nobody donates by then. So just wait. ;-)

P.S. Did you get your Valentine on time?

Braden wrote: I did get my valentine! Thank you so much. I was able to get a lunch with the money that I received! I enjoyed it so much this week. I am trying to save money and not eat out so much, but those extra $5 really changed my mind on Thursday.

Don't worry about the money, it is more for me to gauge how much support I could receive from my network outside of my family.

I hope that you are feeling better and that the house is surviving the weather. If you need me to come down this week to help, I am able to do so. Just let me know.

Myrna wrtoe: Well, at any rate, $50 is yours from us but we will give it to you in person.
