Myrna wrote to Charlotte: It has been an eventful week for us. Two of our friends in Nephi died. Then one of our friends at the temple died of a sudden stroke. The final death occurred when my cousin, Eva Jane Smith, died. We went to Springville to the funeral. She was a quiet, capable and sweet woman. She was 16 years my senior. Eva Jane treated me, kindly and with gentleness. In addition, she and her husband, Leon, came to every wedding of my children. She had a beautiful singing voice, like most of the Smiths and, in the last year, as her mind was slipping, the one thing she could still do was sing hymns. She was on tune and remembered every word. Her father, Tom Smith, sang with the Mormon Tab for many years. For that reason, music was always very important to her.
I guess you heard the news that Kirsten is expecting again. Her baby will be born in September right around our 50th wedding anniversary (Sept. 9). So we will have quite a nice present, right? Julie's little son, Jens Luke Jones, is to be born on May 10. That means we will have 33 grandchildren by the end of the year. We are quite excited! We also have two high school graduations this year. One is in Ohio and one in Mass.
