our family has been able to make to visit you in Utah. I enjoyed coming to stay with you. I always loved playing in your back yard by your stream. Of course, I also enjoyed all the yummy chocolates you often had.
Grandpa,
I always enjoyed listening to you play the piano. I can still remember a visit you made to Washington. I loved it when you taught Telly and me some fun songs. You taught us “Do Your Ears Hang Low” and “Chester have you Heard about Harry”. Telly and I had so much fun singing these and doing the actions that go with them. You have been an amazing example of Christ- like love for others. I always feel peaceful when we visit you.
Grandma,
You have always been so sweet to me whenever we have visited. I remember a time when you and Grandpa visited us in Washington. I loved it when each night you read a chapter or two from a fun book to Telly and me. I have enjoyed being able to talk with you during our visits to Utah or on the phone. I love you both.
Love,
Penny Lynn

I want to thank you forall you have meant to me.
I was always so excited when we planned a trip to Utah to see Grandma & Grandpa Hubbard. I had so much fun staying up late watching TV in Grandpa’s recliner. It used to feel like a slumber party sleeping in the basement. I remember so many exciting winter trips—which always meant sledding down the banks at the high school. There was never a dull moment on those trips to Utah!
Grandma always gave us free access to her highly coveted candy jar. This may not seem like a big deal, but you all know my mother and her healthy eating habits, so it was always nice to get treats from Grandma. Oh yeah, I can’t forget the hidden candy stashes that were quite easy to find. I’m convinced she liked us to find them. She also had the best frozen foods.
Grandma and Grandpa were exceptionally good at being happy. It is no wonder my mother was so emphatic about teaching us the importance of a good attitude. Grandma and Grandpa have always been so cheerful and optimistic. Even as a kid I loved to listen to Grandpa play the piano. I can remember being amazed that he could play so many songs without looking at the music. What a great talent to have. I should’ve stuck with the piano.
I remember listening to Grandma and Grandpa tell childhood stories about the ranch and the war. What great memories! It seems to me that Grandpa knows somebody from every place I had been.
Grandma really impressed me the summer she came to Washington and raced the horse down the dirt road. I guess that was not entertaining enough for her so she ran the backhoe into the corner of the house. The best part about it was that somebody caught it on tape. So we watched her reaction over and over again on video. Grandma and Grandpa have been exceptional examples to us. We are quite sure they have never had one bad bone in their bodies. What an honor to have such wonderful grandparents.
We love you grandma and grandpa and thank you for being so great. Love, Preston, Jennifer, & Cole Cleaver

memories
Grandpa has taught me a lot about happiness and peace in this life. Every
time I see Grandpa he is so content no matter what is happening around him. I love all of his little songs he sings and the stories he tells about friends and family. You can also tell that people are important to him. He remembers details about people and their conversations that most people wouldn’t even notice. I get the feeling when I’m with Grandpa that he really cares about me and what is going on with my family. I really love Grandpa and am so thankful for his example of peace and contentment and love for people. I know that I am a better person for having Grandpa in my family. Love Telly I have many fond memories of Grandma. I remember when I was probably about seven years old, her and Grandpa visited Washington and stayed with our family for probably a week. During that time I would
wake up early every morning to be with Grandma and my mom and drink sugar free hot chocolate with whole wheat toast. I am not sure why that memory sticks out so much to me but I think it is because I was the only child awake and would get individual attention from Grandma. I also remember Grandma reading a book to all of us kids every night on my parents’ bed while they were visiting. I loved Grandma’s reading voice. Grandma has always been an example to me of serving others and coming close to the Lord. I do not know a lesson that could be more important to learn in this life. If I can be a little more like Grandma I know I can serve the Lord more. I love Grandma so much and am so thankful for her example of faith.
Love, Telly
