A Neat Lady Moves On

Joyce and I attended a funeral in River Heights UT today.  A friend of Joyce's family, and someone who treated my always like a friend has passed on.  Mickey Jibson was a fantastic lady.  She died at age 93.  Talking to her son Ron and her daughter Cathy and their spouses it is hard to believe that she is gone.  A week ago she was, well, she was Mickey.  This lady did everything, loved everything and everyone.

I was reminiscing about the little town of River Heights.  I was exposed to the populace there while dating my sweetheart, who I married.  There were incredible families there, raising incredible children, who were giving them incredible grandchildren.  My wife was a Weston.  Families within a few blocks were the Jibson's, the Ballam's, the Siler's, the Mickelsen's, the Ringer's, the Stewart's, the Jolley's, the Zollinger's, the Postma's, the Ellis's, the Rich's.  Those are the families that come to mind in my first thoughts.

To Cathy and Ron and their families you have my gratitude and respect and above all a cheerful smile as I think of your Mom and Dad, Wally and Mickey Jibson, they were a pleasure to be around and it was an honor to know them.
