Mother met Ted Law in the bay area and they were married the 10th of August 1929 in Oakland, California. I think she was drawn to him because he had a happy heart and made people laugh and was so much fun to be around. His stories, which he told friends when she was in the kitchen getting refreshments, about her growing up so poor that she didn't have shoes and when she did, she cut holes in the bottom to get used to them was fantasy but people believed him and she was embarrassed more than once.
Mother was a multi-talented person, she loved her family, music, working in the community, helping others. She was a worker in all she set out to accomplish. She was so neat and clean in her care of her children and her home. And she was a good cook.
She first heard the "Mormon Missionaries" while living in Tennessee. When she was 21 years old she left home and traveled to Salt Lake City. She was baptized in the famed Mormon Tabernacle in 1927. She loved the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was devoted to it and raised her children following the precepts of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Having a deep belief in God, a spiritual life was always important to her and we often found her praying and reading the scriptures.
God bless you mother for the things you taught us. You have been a blessing to many and especially to all of your posterity (numbering over 63 in 2009). We'll love you forever.
