Hanna Horton passed away this afternoon.  My sweet mother in law. 
The lady who:

• Sent wonderful care packages to Craig when he was gone for the summer working at the National Parks.  They were full of delicious oatmeal cookies and brown sugar muffins.

• Made a banner announcing the engagement of her son to me and placed it in her office at the administration office at BYU.  

• Treated me as if I were her own daughter. 

• Loved my children.

• Took vacation time to babysit our children when we came to town for meetings.

• Loved to tell stories of her childhood and family life.

• Was a wonderful cook.

• Made delicious apple pie, goulash, and pistachio pudding salad (calling it a salad was a trick only a Grandma could get away with...it was more like a dessert).

• Always had a full dish of peanut M&M's in a crystal dish ready for visitors.

• Taught my husband tenderness and kindness.

• Was a world class drawer and cupboard organizer! 

• Was willing to share anything she had especially to someone in need.

• Put others needs ahead of her own.

• Who for the last 2 years didn't know where she was, who she was or that she was being lovingly taken care of by her daughter, but was still kind and sweet.

Mom, I love you.  We love you.  You have been missed these last 2 years. But, now that you are really gone from us we miss you more.
