Tribute to special people in my life
My parents: My dad passed away May 31, 1982. Mom passed away February 19, 2002.
Dad was a hard working man. He followed heavy construction jobs and we moved around the United States following his work. He thought that education was important and made it possible that I could go to college and get my teaching degree. My father was a very generous man. Family was important to Dad. He took care of his mother and grandmother seeing that their needs were met, as well as his own family. He adored my mother and would do anything he could for her. His example showed me how a woman should be treated in her life. Honesty and integrity were also a big part of his life. I am grateful for what he did for me, for his love, and for his example and always providing for me!
Mom and Dad were always involved in providing service to others. I remember many a time from when I was very young when Mom & Dad would help someone in need. When asked how to be repaid, they always replied "You only need to repay me by passing on the deed. Someday, when you see someone else in need, stop and help them. Help others along their way."
When she passed, I received an email from a woman Mom bowled with. She stated, " Mavis was the most wonderful person I've ever met. She never failed to have a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone. Although you could tell when she was angry or irritated with someone, those times were rare and it was almost comical to watch her get "fired Up." I will miss her pleasant disposition. It was an honor to call her my friend."
She had a strong will and was never idle. She never met a stranger. She would strike up conversations with people everywhere she went. Many times she found relatives in that way, as well.
My brother, John Edward Snapp, was 8 years older than me. He was often assigned to take care of me when we were younger and that continued somewhat throughout my life. He kind of became a protector of me.
In our mobile society, we became separated by distance. Here I live in Utah and his family settled in Missouri. We didn’t have an opportunity to see each other much. The last time we were together was at my mother’s funeral 16 years ago. I am more grateful than words can express at having the opportunity to have been with him for a couple of days before his passing. My eldest brother, Frank, made that happen. I am grateful that Lynn & Ann opened their home and allowed us to be together and for all they always do for me. They have been so helpful in helping me through my grief and loss.
I remember my mother referring to John as a gentle giant. He was a kind, loving man with more patience than most. His life was dedicated to the caring of his family. My heart aches for his sweet wife, Mary Ann Snapp and his children: Julie Snapp (Shane), Melissa K Snapp Downey, Leah and Danielle Snapp and their children. He loved them and his grandchildren and great grandchildren so very much. May they continue to feel that love around them.
He is now out of all pain and can easily get around again. He is there on the other side with many friends and relatives who have passed before him. My parents would have been first in line to greet him and welcome him home. It was a joyous reunion for them.
It will be awhile until we are all gathered together again, but together again we will be. John, know that you are loved.
Love, Your baby sister now and forever.
