We'll miss this dear man. The boys & I enjoyed writing him letters & sending pictures. He didn't write much, but that was okay....we just wanted him to know we loved him even though we lived so far away.
Our time with him this summer was so special. He gave us a tour of where he lived and then we went to his room for a wonderful visit. Though he was frail, his mind was sharp...he told us about his cowboy spurs (that were sitting on display in his room), memories of old pictures, & his times in TX. He told me he remembered when he first met me; I remember the exact time too...I wasn't with Russell & it wasn't in Montana...so that fact that he remembered, really surprised me.

Precious memories. Thanks for sharing! We missed you last weekend.
Found your blog through Linda's. Was so nice to finally meet you @ convention. Was nice to read this post, and the sweet one about the kids playing convention. The future of the Kingdom.

umm, this computer changed my last name. I really did type in Hermance, not Sundance!
