Evelyn May Flagler
At 75 years old, she passed on January 11th, 2009 after a battle of liver cancer. She was the mother of 7 children, my mother being her first. She loved to crochet, make crafts, cake decorating, homemade candy and had the best caramels ever. She has 13 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. For a few summers during my younger years I would visit her for about a week and we would make candy and crafts together all week long in a little town called Rigby, ID. She lived alone for many years and was a big talker, she could talk for hours without getting tired. She may not have been the best example when it came to marriage, but she loved her family and her 7 children are successful and great people. I will miss my grandma and her funny quirks, but I am also glad that she is out of that miserable pain that cancer brings. Love and miss you grandma.

I remember your Grandmother. When I lived with your Mom, we would try to casually call and check out what our Mom's were having for dinner and go visit the Mom who's dinner sounded the best! Your Grandmother was always making cakes and we were always willing to be the testers!! YUM! It is never easy to lose a grandparent, they teach you so much!
Rachel i am so sorry! she sounds like a wonderful lady-
Wow, Rach. I'm glad you went out to Utah. I'm so sorry.
Sorry about your grandma!
I got your comment on my blog. Brooks got the tickets from craigslist. They were a bit pricey though. It is just the way the Gonzaga tickets work. The face value says $20, but in order to even get tickets you have to donate a bunch of money to the school which makes the tickets much more. We probably won't be going to too many games, but it was a lot of fun!
Also, thanks for the apron! I love it!
