Aunt Ardis Green

Here is a Happy New Year 2012 to all my Garrard Family!  Hope we can all keep our resolutions.  I wanted to give you a report on our Aunt Ardis Green.  I found out from Mom and Dad that she had fallen in her home a few days before Christmas and broke her right hip.  With the business of Christmas, I waited until yesterday to find out more.  I called our cousin, Rick Green, and he said she was still at St. Marks Hospital.  So today after work I stopped at the hospital and had a nice visit with her and Tina, who was there also.  Ardis is improving and feels that perhaps in another few weeks she will be able to go home.  She has two pins put in her hip and it will take time to heal and get stronger, so she has a walker to get around.  Her mind is good and we talked about our families, etc.  I think with time she will be back to herself, but she is looking older and more feeble than I remember from the last time I saw her.  She has let her hair go to white like our daddy's and reminds me so much of him.  What a sweet lady!  She wanted me to tell you all hello from her.  She is able to take calls in her room, Mom and Dad, if you would like to talk to her.  She is in the South Wing on the 5th floor, room 13.  The hospital's phone number is 801-268-7111.  Love to all,  Jeri

MERRY CHRISTMAS

We love you and are wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Susan

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MAMA

This Sunday is Mother's Day and I wanted to tell Mama how much I love her and appreciate all the things she does for me and our family. You've always been a kind and loving Mother and I'm so blessed to be one of your children. Thank you for giving me my life. I hope you have a happy day Sunday for Mother's Day. I love you very much.

Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Denis Fedotov

Garrard Family Reunion

Here is a picture of the 2010 Garrard Family Reunion. It was a lot of fun. As the word is getting out, you all probably know that it is my turn to plan the next Garrard Family reunion. Check your gfl email for a message that I sent. My siblings are requested to respond back by the end of September as to whether each of you receive, and all of your children receive the gfl messages.

The next thing I will need to know (by the end of October) is when the school breaks are for each of your children/grandchildren. What would be the best time - is it still in July?

Since there are so many of us, I ask that each family combine your answers and the Garrard sibling respond back to me. I love you all, Kathy

Our Father and Mothers' Special Month

Momma, I hope you have a wonderful birthday tomorrow (the 17th) as well as you both enjoying your anniversary. How many does that make now? This is the last picture I got of you before you left my house last year. It was so great of you to come. Can't wait to see you again in a few more weeks!

Also, Father's Day is this Sunday and I wish you a loving day, Daddy. The Choir is singing a new song by Janice Kapp Perry about fathers and I will be singing to you and about you.

You're both the BEST! Love, Jeri
