Family was important to Mom. Incredibly important. She was constantly connected to "the fam," checking in over e-mail, lots of phone calls, and most recently even texts and facebook messages! But even before she had a family of her own, she was surrounded by her two brothers and two sisters, and countless cousins. I think she always wanted a big family, because she had so much fun growing up. The stories of skiing in the canal, being locked in a water tank, using a cow trough as a hot tub...hours of fun with her brothers, sisters and cousins. She always instilled in us the importance of being friends with your siblings, treating each others as equals, respecting one another and always looking out for one another. We never fought. We weren't allowed, and today as adults we are closer than any siblings I know. Here's a photo of Mom, Grandpa Johnson and her four siblings, Kathy, Paul, Doug and Suzi. The last picture they took as a family. And here's a picture of us now...the new Sarver family. One less person on earth...but one more beautiful soul in heaven.
