MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM RICHARD AND KAREN

We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. This year has been a very strange year for us. At the beginning of the year, I was diagnosed with having cancer. But at this time, the cancer is completely gone because of our Heavenly Father's blessings and the skills of the doctors. We also put our home up for sale and had a beautiful home built on the Oregon Coast. Because of the situation of the real estate slump, we will probably lose our home in Oregon. But all is well because our home here is beautiful and we love Toquerville. As you can see, our Heavenly Father has blessed us greatly and we appreciate our blessings and our children. May you and your family have a true Christmas and remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

This Christmas, we have had all our children with us (Jared, Julie, Sharese, and Charles) except for two. We are all sitting around the table playing our traditional Christmas game, Ticket to Ride. We even taught Sharese how to play Canasta. We have had a wonderful time with our children here. We truely wish that Michael in Oregon and Daniel in New York were here with us. What has made this special for us is all our grandchildren here with us also.
