I surely do miss Mom's emails which came 3 or 4 times every day! This is the time of year she really had fun with all the neat stuff our beloved Shauna taught us to use and made for us. With the feel of Autumn in the air, I'm sure Mom would already be pulling out those Halloween GIFs and Backgrounds. I used one of Shauna's signatures she made for you. It was so much fun and I looked forward to each and every email. I miss you more than I can say,
Rest well, Mother.
Rest well, Mother.

Lenis C. Nunley 10/5/1933 ~ 7/19/2008 Our sweet and beautiful wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend passed away on a peaceful summer morning with her family by her side. She fought a brief but courageous battle with cancer and was reunited with her loved ones on July 19, 2008.Born October 5, 1933 in Joseph, UT to Antone Frank and Emily Jane Lott Christensen. She married the love of her life, Larry Nunley, June 16, 1950, and the marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake City Temple. They shared a very special love for each other. Mom loved the outdoors, scrapbooking and most importantly her family. Her outgoing spirit and witty personality will be greatly missed. She brought out the best in us and always made us laugh. She was a dedicated employee of Cottonwood Hospital for 15 years in the Surgical Unit and worked with Dr. Lieberman of Hemet, California for 10 years. Her greatest acheivement was being the best wife, mom, grandma and homemaker. As an active member of the LDS Church, she enjoyed her many callings. She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years; brother, Vern (Deloris) Christensen, Midvale, UT; her three daughters Lenis Jeanine (Mike) Rasmussen of West Jordan; Lorraine Moore of Ephraim; Janet Dyann Benjamin of Ephraim; her devoted grandchildren Jennifer, Kimberly, Margie, Stacey, Robert, Alison, Jesse, Lindsay, Windy, Mason and 21 great-grandchildren.

Do not stand
At my urn and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand
winds that blow.
I am the diamond
glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
on the ripened grain.
I am the gentle
Autumn's rain.
When you awaken
in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in
circled flight.
I am the soft stars
that shine at night.
Do not stand
at my urn and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.
At my urn and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand
winds that blow.
I am the diamond
glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
on the ripened grain.
I am the gentle
Autumn's rain.
When you awaken
in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in
circled flight.
I am the soft stars
that shine at night.
Do not stand
at my urn and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.

"why are you crying?" he asked his Mom. "Because I'm a Mother" she told him, "I don't understand", he said. His mom just hugged him him close to her and said "You never will."
Later the little boy asked his father why Mother seemed to cry for no reason. "All mothers cry for no reason", was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, and still wondered why mothers cry. One night he had a dream. In his dream, he called God on the telephone. When God came to the phone
the man asked, "God, why do mothers cry so easily?' God answered him. "My son, you see, when I made mothers I knew they had to be special. I made their shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave them an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times come from their children and mates. I gave them a hardiness that allows them to keep going when everyone else has given up, and to take care of their families through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave them the sensitivity to love their children under all circumstances, even when the child has hurt them very badly. This same sensitivity helps them to make a child a child's boo-boo feel better and helps them share a teenager's anxieties and fears. I gave them a tear to shed. Its theirs, exclusively, to use whenever needed needed. IT'S THEIR ONLY WEAKNESS. ITS A TEAR FOR MANKIND.
We love you and miss you, Mom

WHY didn't I drive down to see you more often? WHY didn't we take more trips together? WHY didn't I spoil you more with the scrapbook stuff you loved? WHY didn't we make it to Washington, DC? (we were SO close to our dream vacation, yet we never made it). WHY didn't I tell you more (not just in an email) that I loved you. WHY didn't I call you on the phone more often? WHY didn't I take you places now that you had moved up here so close to Salt Lake? WHY didn't I do more things to make you proud of me instead of shake your head at times? WHY didn't I buy you and Dad neat movies to watch and CD's to listen to all the time....that was so easy to do, yet I seldom did it. WHY didn't I have everything all ready to go like the food and stuff when you and Dad came for a visit like you did when we went to visit you? So I could sit back and enjoy your company instead of running around the entire time. WHY couldn't I be more like you? Most of all----WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE US??? WHY did we have to to say goodbye? None of use were ready for that. These WHYs will bother me for a very long time--maybe they will bother me for ALL TIME. I miss you so much, Mom. Life isn't the same without you.
(I guess the first anniversary of your funeral is not a good day for me). I love you, Mom

Lenis,
I never got the chance to meet you, but you were like a surogot Mom to me. A year ago, I had all my trip plans made to fly to Utah, to finally get to meet you Mom, but you got sick & could have no visitors except "real" family. It was the Lords calling to take you home, so even though I never met you on earth, I will meet you in heaven one day. Loved You.

Remember me when shadows fall,
When tears like rain are shed.
And though my name be on a wall,
Please do not think me dead.
Remember me at evening's hush,
At the sunrise softest dawn,
In the everyday of common rush,
I hunger to live on.
Remember me when moonlight bathes
The crystal starry skies,
See me in a tender gaze
Or in a child's eyes.
REMEMBER ME IN MEMORIES
OF THINGS WE USED TO SHARE.
THOUGH FLEETING ARE THOSE REVERIES,
JUST LOOK, FOR I AM THERE.
Remember me in all life's things
You see and hear and do.
Though we have felt death's parting sting,
My spirit lives in you.
Remember me as time flows on
Like rivers to the sea:
While from this earth I may be gone,
I live; Remember me.
When tears like rain are shed.
And though my name be on a wall,
Please do not think me dead.
Remember me at evening's hush,
At the sunrise softest dawn,
In the everyday of common rush,
I hunger to live on.
Remember me when moonlight bathes

See me in a tender gaze
Or in a child's eyes.

Mom, I'm going to TRY to think of the happy memories today and not just the thought its been a year now since you've been gone. Over and over in your scrapbooks you put in this quote RECALL IT AS OFTEN AS YOU WISH--A HAPPY MEMORY NEVER WEARS OUT.
Recalling memories of our Mom and Grandma will never wear out---she was the very best. We miss you, Mom.

Dear Grandma,
I miss you so much. I can't believe it has already been one year, yet at the same time it seems like it has been even longer than that. I will forever remember the last night we spent with you, me and all my best friends for life. I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to take care of you that night and reminisce with your scrapbooks.
Life is so different now and will never be the same without you. I miss you and Grandpa coming to town and all of us getting together. We all had so much fun together and you and Grandpa were the center of it all. You drew all of us together. How I wish we could do that just one more time. I miss your laugh and I guess I miss everyone's laugh, for nothing is the same anymore. I think you would be proud of Grandpa and my mom, although they miss you so, they have tried their hardest to be brave for you. We all are trying and I hope we are making you proud. I am enjoying my job helping babies as sweet and tiny as Larry Jr. and I think of him and you often while I am work.
Grandma thank you for being such a special person in my life. You will always be in my heart, in everything I do. I love you with all my heart.
Love ALWAYS,
Stacey

We are coming up on the anniversary of when we lost you. I miss you so much, but yet I still can't believe you are gone and certainly cannot grasp that it has already been a year. I guess that is because you really truly are in our hearts and your wonderful spirit never really left us. We miss your smile, your laugh, your face. How I long to hug you and kiss your cheek! I love you so much Grammie and I will miss you until the day we meet again.

Dad and Janet, do you remember like I do that sinking feeling we had this week a year ago? Everything was going wrong. In the next few days we were going to lose Mom and there was nothing we could do about it. I want to thank Dad and Janet for the loving care they gave her. All I could do is stand by for moral support. I don't know why I was unable to help in her care, but I just couldn't do it. Thank goodness, THEY COULD! They cheerfully did everything which needed to be done for her (whether she like it or not. I'm sure all those needles pokes were getting tiresome!!) They made it possible for Mom to be here just a little bit longer and attend the family reunion we had the night before she passed away.
I hope others will please share their thoughts this week. Its going to be a tough one. I don't like being without my Mom and best friend.

I came across some strawberry freezer jam that Mom had made and given to me on one of the trips here to Salt Lake. She brought so many little gifts that were so rare and so wonderful. What to do with the jam? Eat it or keep it frozen forever? I would love to eat it--but I think I will hold on to it. Mom--your little gifts were always so sweet and thoughtful. I know you and Dad could have used that jam very easily. But you always shared all you had. I miss your thoughtful little gifts and YOU so much.

Well, everyone who cherished Mom. The day has come. One year ago was the surgery that she would never wake up from. We had our moments of dread and fear....but still we held onto the idea that she would wake up--get her chemotherapy over with--and be well and happy again. That day didn't come. So, this day is like the day she left us for good. We were with her for a couple more months, but I guess she wasn't with us. I think she kinda wandered from this life into the next the whole time. And although she knew it would hurt us so. She wanted to move on to the next. She was not afraid to move on. Her testimony was strong. She KNEW where she was going.
My dearest friend, Brenda in Australia, sent me this poem to use. It was written a few years ago for her "Mum" who had also passed away from cancer. Thank you, Brenda. YOUR MUM AND OUR MOM & GRANDMA are so much alike!
"MOTHER"
We miss her so,
Loving her was so very dear.
She shared our joys and sorrows,
And helped us make our pathway clear.
Her needs in life were little,
Her wants so very few.
Her life she spent around us,
As each year her children grew.
We never thought she'd leave us;
That day seemed far away,
But life can treat us unkindly,
When comes the "parting of the ways".
Her love we'll hold forever,
Her memories are a treasure.
How thankful we must really be,
TO HAVE THE NICEST MOTHER!
We love you and miss you, Mom. But we know you are happy. Help us make it through this day.

Today, (a year ago) was the last chance I had to talk to my Mother. So much happened after her surgery the following day, I can't even recall if I spoke with her or not. Lorraine and I were just a couple mins late getting to the hospital before she went in for her operation. But still---we were so sure everything was going to be fine. After all--the doctors told us so. I don't know if I let her know I was confidant she was going to get better, or worried about what could and did happen. Whenever the last time I talked to her was--I hope I said the right things. I have no idea if I did or not. I hope I didn't belittle her situation when she needed comforting. We were all so SURE she would be fine.
Mom...I miss you so much. Nothing is as it used to be. There is something missing in everything I do - and its YOU. We ALL miss you love you and wish you were here with us. I can still hear the sound of your voice and your laughter--which is comforting. Rest well, Mom.

Memorial Day was a day I could put a smile on your face. I would email you photos of the flowers and it always made you so happy. Last year, I didn't do that. I missed my last chance put a smile on your face. We were busy the fact that you were going to be "cured" after your surgery happening in the next few days. You knew better than us, what the outcome would be. I just wish I had the time back to give you more smiles. At this time, Mom--we need you to help us smile. We love you and miss you so much.

I know it felt wonderful to you to see your own Mom on Mother's Day--your love for her is great. Much like the love I have for you. We so wish you were still here with us, though. I love you and miss you, Mom.

It is almost Mother's Day and I can't stand to think of it without you. I know last year we were not much in the mood for it. Now I sure wished we would have done something special. You were sick. I thought that you were going to just get better though. I am sorry that it was the last mothers day we would spend together in this lifetime. I am going to buy you some really pretty flowers though and put them by you. I miss you mom and hope that you have a great Mother's Day.

"Coping with loss of a parent means taking no chances with the one you have left."
I was reading an article and came across this passage. Let's band together and do all we can for Dad--for Grandpa--as Mom would want us to. He tries so hard to make everyone happy and in return there isn't much left for him. My New Year's Resolution will be one for my Mom. I WILL DO MY BEST TO MAKE SURE DAD IS WELL AND AS HAPPY AS HE CAN BE WITHOUT HER.
We wanted so much for this year to just GO AWAY! But to me it seems the passing of this most horrible year ever, is only taking Mom further away and not really helping at all. We all miss her love, her laughter, her kindesses and fun, sweet presence. She is the best Mom ever---and I will do my best for the best Dad ever!

I missed you so much on Thanksgiving. Having the family together wouldn't have been the same without you, it would have been too hard. The last two years we were all together and I am so thankful for that. As Christmas draws near, I am also thankful that I learned from you and Grandpa what the true meaning of Christmas is. It's not about presents but it is all about presence. Having you and Grandpa at our parties always made my Christmas special. I know you are still with all of us even though we can't see you. I love you and we all miss you so much.

As Thanksgiving Day is drawing to an end, I am thinking about what I am thankful for. This year, its hard to not have Mom with us for Thanksgiving. She always made the party---a real party. I am thankful for Dad...for my sisters who are there to see him every day. I'm thankful for my husband, daughters, Scott, Sam, Michael and Chris and all the grandkids. But right now---most of all---I am thankful for my Mom. I am so blessed to be her daughter. She is so loved and so missed by all of us. She is always in our hearts every day. WE LOVE YOU, MOM and are sad you aren't with us right now. BUT WE ARE THANKFUL WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN.

Mom, I'm sure my Malley has found you by now. It hurt so much to lose him---but the fact he can be with you and he has his eyesight again is so comforting. I miss you both so much. Give him a kiss, Mom, and he will do anything for you. He's a good boy. I love you and miss you terribly.

Mom, another month has slipped away without you. I miss you and love you with all my heart. So far, "time" has not helped, perhaps it hasn't been long enough. The Autumn has been wonderful here, as you know. I wish you were here so we could talk about it. I love you, Mom. Give hugs and kisses for us to all those who we, on Earth, are missing. I hope you have met up with my dear friend, Patrick. He will help Sharon and Larry, Jr. take care of you for us. We all love and miss you!

John Lennon said "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans". Mom and I were always making plans. Being together as a family and HAVING FUN was always a high priority for Mom and I. We did have some grand plans going on--that is until "life" happened. Mom, I miss our planning of those wonderful, fun times. I miss you so much in every way. One day, we will get back to our plan-making. Until that time--please meet me in my dreams. WE ALL LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!

We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Grandma-
We miss you so very much. We enjoyed being together to celebrate your birthday but it was also very painful to not have you to hug and kiss and laugh with. I love you very much!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven, here I dwell with God above.
Here, there are no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do,
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you just wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I though of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
I thought of you in silence, I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part.
God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.
I love you Grandma and we all miss you terribly!!

Today I was looking for pictures on my computer and came across the file of our last vacation with Mom. Today is the first anniversay of the last day of that vacation. How did we get here from there in only one year? From fishing and ATV'ing and staying up all night playing cards...to being without Mom? I will never forget and always cherish how Mom and I could get to laughing so hard one of us would end up wetting our pants! She was such a fun, sweet mother. I envy my brother and sister who are with her now. Kiss her for us, Larry and Sharon. We miss her so!

Well, here we into another month without our beloved Wife, Mom and Grandma. It still is so unreal to me, and I feel so empty and lost without her. A few more very small "firsts" of life without MOM. Dad is learning to bake bread! I'm very proud of him for that! I am bottling fruit, which I can still share with Dad--but not Mom this year. Last night Alan Jackson was singing on TV.....I wanted to call her so badly and let her know he was on. These little things are just a reminder of how important she is to all of us all through the day. Mom, I miss you more every day. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful Mom and friend. I LOVE YOU!

If roses grow in Heaven, Lord pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Mother's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek, and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, But there's an ache within my heart that will never go away.
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU, MOM

Grandma,
We all miss you so much and I am so sad that you are not here with us. It's a sadness I have never experienced before and never could have prepared for, nor wanted to. It is times like this that we realize everyone in our lives have their own place in our hearts-some just take up more room than others. Every time I visit this guest book I hope that it will not appear on my screen, that somehow it's not true. My heart still can't accept it. I keep hoping it's a story someone told me about their Grandma-just so the story isn't about mine. I know that is selfish but that's how I honestly feel. I am so going to miss our get-togethers, scrapbooking together and all the laughter you and Grandpa brought with you each time you came for a visit. Most of all I am going to miss seeing you by his side. Your love for each other is one of a kind. Thank you for making so many trips to spend time with all of us. Those memories and photos will be kept close to my heart forever. I love you and Grandpa so much!

To my Family and Friends,
We made it through the first month without her. It wasn't a good one, either. So many things I feel are still left undone. Mom had so much life in her before this illness. Mike and I went on vacation to the cabin for the first time in years without Mom and Dad. It wasn't that much of a vacation without their company. Our brand new scrapbook table Mike got us for up there sits unused and its very sad to see. Dad, Janet, Kim, Stacey, Jenny and Lorraine I'm glad we all have each other to lean on and talk to. Without family right now--where would we be? MOM, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! I hope keeping this guest book online for year will help us all get through this very hard time.

I LOVE YOU!

My heart is breaking for all of you, especially your sweet Dad. How you all must miss her!
We've said a special prayer and made a request that our Aunt Erika be there to greet your Mom and "show her the ropes". Just think what a good time they'll have discussing Austin!
We love you lots. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

It is an odd feeling...I feel like my heart is actually ripping when I think about you, and your Dad...and the family. But then...I feel like my heart is bubbling like a soda pop when I think about Mom! I see her happy and running, twirling a pretty translucent shawl around...and smiling so wide, all her lovely white teeth are showing! I try to picture a frail, sick woman, and it won't come to me! I see strong, happy, and a relieved soul. Does that make sense? I tried to write in your guest book, but it doesn't go through...sob sob! Here is a summary of my thoughts: (Oh oh...says Jeannie)
When I realized Mom had left, I felt a sudden calmness, and an unusual happiness that I rarely feel. This happiness comes from deep within...a place that I don't feel unless I am around a person that has died. I long to follow them! I realised that at this very moment...Mom knows all the secrets God could never reveal to us while we are mere humans. She knows even the tiny, stupid things...like if the Loch Ness Monster REALLY is there...or if there was a 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll. Everything has been revealed to her! She has bowed in the presence of Our Lord, and thrown her crown at His feet, in Adoration...and that is when my insides want to explode with happiness!
And then I remember you and Dad, and it is so painful. I wish I could send you the bubbling feeling, to keep with you and use when you need it!
I still have my Mom, so I do not know what you feel like, and won't pretend to. I wish I could carry some of your burden! I am right here if you ever want to email...I promise! Hugs your way...thanks again for letting me know! All my love... Elizabeth

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful mother and wife. Jeannie, I know it is a difficult time for you and your family right now after such a trying time but remember all of the good memories as they are something you will always have. Jeannie, please remember that I am always here for you and you can drop me an email and I will phone you when you need a shoulder to cry on. It is difficult not to feel bad that you have lost your dear mother and I know she was one of your best friends but be relieved that she no longer has any pain and her suffering is through. Your Dad will need you now more than ever so I will keep praying for strength for him and you so that you can get through this very tough time as you try to go on with such an empty void in your hearts.
As always my thoughts and prayers are with you and Jeannie, remember, I love you like a sister.

Jeannie, I know it is a difficult time for you and your family right now after such a trying time but remember all of the good memories as they are something you will always have. Jeannie, please remember that I am always here for you and you can drop me an email and I will phone you when you need a shoulder to cry on. It is difficult not to feel bad that you have lost your dear mother and I know she was one of your best friends but be relieved that she no longer has any pain and her suffering is through. Your Dad will need you now more than ever so I will keep praying for strength for him and you so that you can get through this very tough time as you try to go on with such an empty void in your hearts.
As always my thoughts and prayers are with you and Jeannie, remember, I love you like a sister.

Grandma-
Words cannot express the sadness in our hearts. For several weeks now we have missed your laughter and the sound of your voice. We kept telling each other every day that "this is going to be a good day". We take comfort in knowing that EVERY DAY will be a good day for you from now on. Better than any of us could ever imagine. Kiss Aunt Sharon for me!
Grandpa-
You are so special to us and we are so sorry that you have lost your cupcake, your best friend. Just remember that you are not alone and we will always be here for you. You and Grandma are the best grandparents anyone could ask for and you mean the world to all of us.
We love you both with all of our hearts.
Love, Kimberly

I had the wonderful pleasure of knowing Lenis, for quite some time now.
Seeing her at Christmas gatherings and through tons of emails.
That’s what she became to me, my email buddy.
And with every email, I knew just how much her family meant to her.
She loved each and everyone of you with the utmost respect and love.
She will be truly treasured and missed.
Thank you for allowing me to share (Mom).
I Love You!

Please know you are in my thoughts & prayers & please tell Dad I am thinking about him, I know how much he loved her. Sis, I LOVE YOU & will be thinking about you, I know how close you & MOM were.
Love You, Always!!
