Grandma George



Lance's Great-Grandma passed away on October 23rd. Today we were able to attend her funeral out in Tremonton. I learned a lot about Grandma George today. I already knew that she was a wonderful woman who had lived a great and fulfilling life. However, it was neat to hear little stories and details about her life that I did not know.

Molli and I had the opportunity to go visit Grandma George last June. She was a wonderful quilter and owned a professional quilting machine. She enjoyed having others come and work on it. Molli's Grandma Debbe and Great- Grandma Lavon made a beautiful quilt top for her. We were so excited to go out to Tremonton to sew the quilt. Even Molli was able to try it. She was a natural! What a very lucky girl. Not many 8 year olds are able to say they made a quilt with their Grandma, Great-Grandma, and Great-Great-Grandma! It was a day we will always treasure.

I am so glad that we were able to make it out to visit Grandma George before she passed away. It was fun to be able to have lunch and chat with her. What a gracious host! We also loved hearing about Grandma and Grandpa Stenquist's life growing up in Tremonton. Although she has passed away, we know that she is with our loving Heavenly Father and that she is happy. We will always love you and be grateful for all you did for us!
