Her greatest desire was to simply be wherever he was. They equally enjoyed traveling to see the beauty and wonders of this world, attending sporting events, serving together in Church callings, walking, gardening, spending time with friends and family or simply shopping together. They did everything together. Her two favorite sayings were "love and laughter forever" and "give me one more day."
