My life has had major changes in the last 3 years and 2010 will take on more. My husband of 36 years, John Thomas Hayes passed away in November 2007 from brain cancer. Sometime in your life you know as a couple someone will be called home to Heavenly Father before the other spouse. When that comes to a reality, your life as you have known it comes to an end also. It just becomes different and and sometimes weird. Heavenly Father is constantly guiding and encouraging me in the right direction.
This past April, Harold Jones came into my life. He had just lost his wife JoAnn of 35 years. John and I went to school with Harold and JoAnn in Big Bear. In Jr High I had a crush on Harold and John had a crush JoAnn in high school. Over the years we would see each other at reunions, or at Harold's pool center. Even visited in each others homes. We met up on face book and have been a source of great comfort to each other. I am grateful for our friendship!
I am the person I have become because of special grandparents, a loving mother, dear husband and children, a gracious Heavenly Father and brother Jesus Christ. The teachings I have received over the years from the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has helped me be a better person.
