A Special Lady in my Life....

Today I would like to pay a tribute
to a Special Lady that was such
a great inspiritation in my life.

This is my Grammy Adams.
I loved this lady so much and
cherish all the times I spent with
her as a child. She taught me
so much growing up. I remember
all the times I would go and
stay with her. We would go
to the garden early in the mornings
and she always would be so cheerful and
singing as we worked. She taught me how
to work and not be afraid to work. I would
get up early with her and go to Uncle Ross's
cafe where she cooked. I would play in the
storage boxes until it was time to go home.
She loved everyone around her and
never said any unkind thing.
She had a great love for our Savior
Jesus Christ which I will always
respect for she showed me through
her example I have the same love for my Savior.


Today is my Grandma Adams birthday
she would have been 106.
She will always be alive in my heart.
I know that she is always there with
me, looking down at me with
her beautiful smile.

Grammy Adams celebrating her
80th birthday at our annual family campout.
We still honor her each year on the
4th weekend of April at our
Adams Family Campout.
Excited to go this weekend to celebrate
this Great Lady's Life.


My Grandma married at 16 yrs old to my
grandpa (I never knew him, but I know he was a great man)
She helped raise his 1st family and had 4 handsome sons
and 3 beautiful daughters of their own.
Along with that came lots of wonderful son and daughter in-laws
grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.



What a handsome couple. I am so
glad to be part of this family.

My mom and her siblings get together every
month for a family dinner. It is wonderful to
have great family bonds.

Uncle Len passed away in 1991 and we lost Uncle Glen
in 2006 both these uncles were great
men and loved Grammy Adams so much.




What a precious Lady!



Grandma was talking into the tape recorder to
my brother Bly(whose was a missionary at the time)
It was so cute she wanted to know why he didn't
talk back to her.


Lisa(me), Kassi, Mom, Grammy, Lori and Brittany
Grammy loved all babies I was so glad to
share my little baby with her.



Grandma Shirley and Great Adams( all her great
grandkids called her GREAT ADAMS) with
Claudia(Blys), Kassi(Lisa's) Kimbe and Mekell(Shanna's)

Lisa(me), Kassi and Grandma Adams
This picture was taken about a month
before she passed away. I always wanted
my children to know my Grandma Adams.
My little Kassi remembers some but not alot.
I tell my children often of my Grandma Adams.
I want to share my memories of her with them
so they will know she was great lady.
I love my Grandma Adams so very much,
I think of her very often,
and know that when we meet again
some day it will be a joyous reunion.
