Update Re Jackie Pilling
Charlotte wrote: Jackie Pilling went into a coma on Monday and died Friday afternoon. She’s at peace now. She’s going to be cremated and then this summer, they’ll have a memorial and spread her ashes. Sylvia, her mother won’t go back down to St. George, but mom said she’s really sad. She died two months after she was life-flighted to Las Vegas after passing out.

Charlotte wrote: Yes, she did leave the hospital and returned back to her home in St George. I think she had moved to that area within the past say, 2 years or less and bought a place there? She is my age, just 8 months older and a year ahead of me. Markay, Wally's sister was in her grade. Remember playing some with her when we were young, not often. Think Dad and Mom went fishing later years with Art and Sylvia. Art and Edna were cousins the same age. Art died of the very same thing as Edna, just a week later. Crazy! Sylvia is a very nice person and well liked in the community. Jackie was thought to have had a stroke, but turned out she had brain cancer. I do know on face book it was difficult to watch up dates. My friend Jeanne Smith (Ardohain) lived near the Staleys and across from the Bryners just over the Price River west of the Pilling homes. Sylvia and Mrs. Ardohain are dear friends. Also, do you remember Tom Perrero? Probably Leonard might from school. Wally said Tom was older than Pete Perrero. Anyway, his wife died Sunday in ICU. She had double pneumonia and was recently being treated for anemia. She was at 85 pounds. She is from East Carbon. They have 2 daughters and a grand daughter. They were living in Parker, Arizona for the winter when she took so ill. They have there place next to where Boyd Marsing lived in Carbonville, just off the old main road from the Blue Cut.
Have you made connections with Laurel and Tom? We still are planning our trip to the area this month for Wally and his heart check up. Some sun today, but the weather is so cold and drab. Think if we had more blue in the sky, our world would seem closer to Spring. Do see buds on trees. Hope you both and all the family are well. Julie have her little one yet? Guess Janessa and Gus are expecting a girl anytime now. Exciting getting new ones in the family! Love and Kisses, Char
Myrna wrote: Thanks for all of the information. Brain cancer is terrible as most people don't find out they have it in time to do anything about it. It is all quite sad. Leonard is asleep but I will ask him about Pete Perrero. The name does sound familiar to me. Since our 50th class reunion in June, we have had five classmates die. That is a bit scary. I guess, when you are 69-70 you can expect that some will die.
Laurel dropped me a note to say that they were planning the move a bit at a time.
It is exciting that we are getting new babies in the family, I agree. Julie isn't due until May. They have picked a name for the new little guy--Jens Luke. One of Jim's grandmothers had the maiden name of Luke. I may never be a great-grandmother. Melanie's children are the only grandchildren old enough to get married and Siovhan is enjoying her job as a television producer to much to stop working for awhile. Braden, next oldest, is on a mission. It is OK. There is time. Shawn's oldest, Brigitta, has graduated from high school and is working rather than going to college. She is still too young, I think, to get married.
One of Shawn's childhood friends just lost a son in a car accident in Salt Lake City. The boy had just returned from a mission.

Myrna wrote: Thank you! I wonder who still needs a copy. I guess I will have to call person by person. Thanks, honey. I love you!

Myrna: Did all of you not take your copy of the "Hilton Family Cookbook of the Century" home with you? I have three copies here but I am not certain who has one and who does not. (One per family.) I had them this summer so I may have been flaky enough that I did not get things done as I should have. I do know that I didn't keep track. Please let me know.
Todd wrote: You didn't send this to the whole family. Does this mean you identified the three who didn't take them home?
Myrna wrote: Nope! I asked Melanie the other day. She has hers. I just started with the out-of-staters first.
Todd wrote: I guess Payson is out of the state? LOL. Amy said we didn't get one.
No. Eric just never reads his email. So I sent it to Amy J. OK, you don't have one. I will mail it. Eric does. I know Kirsten does because I sent hers with her at Christmas when she was here.

Chair
Dad and I were planning on taking the chair you now have at your house to D.I. Then I noticed the folding chair in Alyssa's room and asked if she would like it. Afterward, Dad and I got thinking that she really didn't want it but was just being polite. We told her to tell you to go ahead and take it to D.I. if you didn't want it. We will be up, at 2 p.m., for me to go to the doctor. We will stop by and pickup the chair and finish our mission unless you want to keep it or have already carted it off. Let us know. Love, M
