So that is how Bobby ended up with us that year of 1966 and 67. We talked to some one in authority, and was told if we took Bobby to Nevada to live with us, they would release him. Larry and I visited Bobby in Jail, it broke my heart to see him there. I want to start with a trip to Salt Lake City. Bobby was such a character, and there was always laughter when he was around. I had a close relationship with Bobby because he lived with us and finished his high school during this time. The top one is one of the many times Bobby came to visit us in Overton. This is one of my favorite pictures of my brother Bobby and me. I will see you again someday and I hope and pray for peace in your family as they all suffer the loss of you. I love you Joyce, and I miss that contagious smile. I don't think I could be as brave as she was. She had been such a trooper never complaining through all the cancer treatments, working, taking care of her family, and best of all was able to see three grandchildren born. Joyce's suffering was over, but all of us were suffering the loss of a loved one. It was a very peaceful passing, except for the sobbing of Joyce's mother, and the crying of others. I watched as Joyce let out three small breaths, the third one being her last. We all gathered around her bed, and Allen said a prayer. Megann, Joyce and Allen's daughter is a nurse and she had been monitoring her Mom and she announced that the time had come to let her go.

It wasn't long after our visit with her, that she went into a coma like state. I gave her a gift that Lorri, our cousin had sent up with me and she put her glasses on and read the card that came with it. I was so happy that she still was conscious when we first got there and I was able to tell her that I loved her, and she told me she loved me too.

Joyce passed away while we were there, and this was the first time I actually saw someone pass to the other side. We packed up and headed to Taylorsville, UT so we could see her. I saw a message from my Brother Allen, stating that if we wanted to see Joyce alive, we should go to their home for a visit. This photo is perfect as it seems Joyce is waving good by and is shows that beautiful contagious smile I haven't been blogging as I post a lot of things on Facebook. I have been going to post about my sister in law's death for some time now. I then Married Frank Merritt and have been happily married for 31 years now. This was an un-happy marriage and ended in 1978. They and their children are still in my life and I love them dearly. He was the husband of one of the tellers that was killed. I married Bud Walkington two years later. This was the hardest part of my life losing my husband at such a young age. He was 28 and I was 26, and I was left with three small children. He was killed in a bank robbery in August of 1967 along with two of his bank tellers. We lived in Las Vegas for a few months and then moved to Overton, NV where Larry opened the Bank of Las Vegas as the bank manager. We moved to NV in 1964 when Garen was just four months old.

We moved to Grantsville,UT in 1961 and lived there for three years. I married Larry Staley on Sept.30,1960 and we had three children, Sherry, Bret, and Garen. I graduated from West High School and went to Henager Business College, and worked at the State Road Shops in Salt Lake City. I was born in Salt Lake City, UT where I spent the first 20 years of my life.
