Andrea's first farewell was in her BYU 166th Ward on
March 22, 2015. Her topic was HAPPINESS.
That was exactly 3 years since Grandma Marvin's passing.
We stopped the day before to add a touch a spring.
The tree blossoms revealed Spring profusely and early this year.
The day of this farewell was a perfect spring day.
Following the meeting, we picked a spot of grass with a
beautiful center piece,then we served nearly 9 gallons of
ice cream with yummy toppings.
Over 100 students stayed to celebrate the occasion. beautiful center piece,then we served nearly 9 gallons of

James, Andrea's friend, made a surprise appearance.
It appears these 4 ward members didn't mind.
The ice water was a hit, too.
Andrea finally found some time and space to enjoy an ice cream sundae.
Dad was the last to indulge. Do you like the table cloth?

Linda Suazo was my great Kitchen assistant. Brenda worked on her weak wrist.
Sadly, few pictures were taken of the first wave
that consisted mainly of family and out of town
friends. Andrea had the love and support of many!
The following were taken during the 2nd wave following our meeting block.
Andrew Robinson is the only home teacher Andrea remembers.
Can you see Kent and Sharon Bateman and Bishop Hone?
Marg Dalton was mine and Andrea's faithful visiting teacher.
Gratefully, we had a few Kenison family members who joined the 2nd wave.
Lindsey and Tammy were two of Andrea's favorite YW leaders.
Bryana has been a life long friend.
My thoughts exactly!

The very successful farewell and luncheon were

It looks like both farewells were well attended and Andrea looked great at both. It is always fun to see so many family members. I am glad the Smiths were there to help get things set up, and to be in pictures. :) I also enjoyed seeing Grandma's grave in spring splendor.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fantastical feast, and the food was good too!
ReplyDeleteSad we weren't able to make it! Thank you for documenting so well and sharing. Andrea is going to be great! She is easy to love and that will help her be successful. :)
