I have loved learning about my grandmas life. She was such an accomplished woman. She was the oldest of eleven children, was a wave in the Navy during WWII, attended and graduated from Brigham Young University (when very few women did in her day), married a wonderful man, had my mother, and the lis goes on and on. Throughout all of this the one thing that I have always felt such a connection with my grandma was that we both loved to dance. I truly believe that I recieved my passion and love of dance through her. She was a modern dancer at Brigham Young University, as I am now. My mother would tell me that when she would watch me dance, I looked like my gandma. I will never forget my grandma giving me tap lessons on my kitchen floor growing up. She was the master of time steps. She increased my love for dance, in which I am forever grateful. I am so grateful to her and for the time she spent with me. I will always love and miss her, and remember the great memories I shared with her.

Megan, Jody called and told me about your Grandma. I want you to know that I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss. One of the beautiful things that come with passing is that your Grandma has a beautiful, healthy body now. I hope that will bring you some comfort in your time of loss.
megan. i am so sorry to hear about your grandma. she was such a cute lady and i know she is in a better place now. you and your family are in our prayers. p.s. i cant wait to see you next week! love you lots!
I've heard a lot about your grandmother over the years, even had her in our home a few Thanksgivings ago (2004), but I didn't know these things about her and I wish I had. Thanks for sharing. As I've watched you dance many times over the years, and know your passion for it, I had no idea that you shared that passion with your grandmother.
I hope you are all finding comfort in being together as a family. Our love goes out to all of you and you are in our prayers.
What an awesome lady. We will miss her in the ward also.
