Thoughts and stories, by Pal

I hadn't planned on putting more articles from Meridian Magazine and other places on my blog.  But I am putting this on today in honor of my sister Vina, and her son Bradley who passed away 3 days ago.  His funeral will be this coming Tuesday, Feb. 13th, 2018, in St. George, Utah, at 12:00 p.m., at the Hughes Mortuary.
