Family Visitors

At the end of August my brother John, his wife Carol, and her mother Margaret, came to visit my Dad. One day they came up to Poulsbo and my brother treated us all to dinner at J.J.'s Fishhouse. He loves sea food. It was delicious, thanks John. Then they came over to our house and showed us their pictures from their Italy trip this last summer and we showed them ours from 2007. It is always great to see family. I'm lucky if I get to see my siblings once a year, we are all so spread out. Paul was taking this picture, but he was there for the dinner also. Our home is always open to any of the family that wants to come to Washington for a visit! We always love to see you!

In Memory of My Mom... Louise Fuqua Wright

It was one year ago today that my Mom died. No one can ever fill the empty space left in my heart.

A picture of baby Louise with her Mother.

As a bride on her wedding day.

I love her smile in this picture. Her Mom is next to her.

We moved to Washington from California and this is a picture of me and my brother with her after church one Sunday. My other 4 siblings were gone from home by then.

I was going to school at BYU and Mom came up for General Conference, so we got some time together.

Our wedding day with our wonderful parents.

Mom with baby Melissa July 1983. She was always there to help her daughters with their newborn babies.

Mom with Nicole February 1988.

Mom loved working at the temple for over 20 years. This is a picture of her at her desk when Dad was in the Temple Presidency.

Mom definitely had a sense of humor.

I think my kids loved their grandma a lot.

We would celebrate Mother's Day together.

When my sister's family was up we went to the Nutcracker in Seattle. She appreciated the arts.

Mom coming out of the Seattle temple in time to tell us Melissa and Scott were coming and to get ready with those cameras.

I will miss you Mom. I am so glad you are not suffering anymore. I can't wait to see your smile again. I love you.
