Hubert and I met at his high school graduation May 1972. Me with my boyfriend... He with his graduating class. Later, the following Sept we

We met through my sister who met him and his friends dragging state street. I know... (long story) I had just broke up with my boyfriend... I was only 15yrs old... he was 18. He was not a member of the church at the time, but he agreed to take the discussions and he said that the gospel felt right and made sense. Hubert was baptized 1 year later, We were married in the Salt Lake Temple on August 1, 1975. The summer I graduated from High School. It was hard for him to be married where his family was not able to be there with us. But they were very supportive. Our oldest son Branden was born on May 4. 1977. After he was 6months old we decided to have another child close so they could grow up together and be friends. It took me until 1981 to have another son Bryan. Our youngest son came in 1983. Hubert had his 3 sons to go hunting... I had to have a hysterectomy the following year. So, I tarted collecting dolls to fill my girl desires.Hubert played professional soccer with the pioneers for the couple of years while they were here before they folded. He then refereed the professional soccer team while they were here in Salt Lake City several years ago. He started his own business "Big Bear heating and cooling" in 1994. Although it has always been a challenge keeping the work and money coming it has given us a lot to be thankful for. We enjoy water skiing, and horseback riding, camping and especially spending time with our family. We also travel to Columbus to see our son and his family while he goes to dental school every other month,and Fairview monthly. Next month we will be going to Idaho monthly tovisit our youngest son and his family while he goes to PA school.I worked in my home doing Hair for 22 years and loved being home while raising our sons. In Aug 2000, The day after our 25th wedding anniversary I was told I had stage 3 breast cancer. I had the mastectomy, radiation and chemo... I had a missionary in Portugal, onein high school, and a son just married. It was real hard losing my hair and being sick but I still believe it is the hardest on the caregivers. I was really blessed... My hair grew back and since.. I have been blessed with seeing my 2 younger sons marry my 6grandchildren. Hubert and I have always wanted to live north and we feel very blessed to be among such wonderful friends and neighbors.Thanks for your support when Hubert lost his Father in Feb.
