I am so heart broken over your mothers passing. Even more devastated that I can't get to her service. I have been waiting to have wood floors installed since Jan. They are currently installing the flooring, and I can't leave. If they stop they won't be able to finish until Aug.
I will miss your mother more than you could ever know. She was the last link to my family. Saw her last Aug. She was so frail. When I would call her, she sounded so tired.
I loved her for 84 yrs. , since she was 15.I will miss her greatly. I am so sorry for your loss. Please kiss her goodby for me. Tell her I will see her soon.
Love Beverly Person
Littlewood family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother/grandmother, she was truly one in a million. I will never forget the kindness that Rhea has shown me over the years. Stacy would invite me to dinner at Grandma Littlewood's home weekly and she was an amazing cook and showed her love through creating her amazing meals and candy. She always made sure that everyone that came in her home felt welcomed, loved, and would always send treats with you out the door.
May you all be comforted at this difficult time with loving memories of your beautiful mother/grandmother.
Much Love,
Julie Rosier
Rhea will be greatly missed. She and Bud were always wonderful grandparents and loved any time they could spend with their family. She taught me when I was young how to cook, clean and with the help of Fels Naptha soap do a very good job at laundry. She was an amazing cook and a fantastic baker and candy maker. Many of her recipes continue to grace our holiday tables (going on the 3rd generation now). My thoughts and prayers are with the ones that she left behind. I will always remember the piece of toast left on the kitchen counter for a few days to later enjoy with a cup of tea.
Wishing her and her family peace and happy memories of an incredible lady.
While I only met Rhea a few times, my mom (Beverly) often spoke of how wonderful Rhea was. So I wanted to pass along my condolences. I am sorry for your loss, and wanted to extend my deepest sympathies.
I am so sad your beloved Grandma Littlewood is gone. She was a truly amazing person. Heather took me to her SLC house years ago and she made us sandwiches and treated me like family! Then she always sent her holiday candy (my favorite cherry chocolates) to me through Heather though she hardly knew me. Each year I hid those chocolates from my family members and ate them all myself because they were one of the most amazing things I’d tasted! She took pride in everything she did and did it well. She was so talented and generous with her time and her talents. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time.
