My favorite memories of Aunt Nola are:
her coming to our house for Christmas (there was always a puzzle up and as we worked on the puzzle she would tell us of some of her experiences working at the Church offices);
stopping to see her at work whenever we went to Salt Lake (she would introduce us to any General Authority who happened to walk by, once when the prophet wasn't there she showed us his office);
coming to our family camp (she always brought Almond Joys); and
visiting with her at family reunions (she did lots of family history so she could tell great stories of our ancestors)
Aunt Nola was kind. gracious.and loyal to her family. She was organized, efficient, and a woman of integrity.
Boyd talked at her funeral and I think he said it just right when he quoted this song as an example of how she lived her life.
I Feel My Savior’s Love
1. I feel my Savior’s love
In all the world around me.
His Spirit warms my soul
Through ev’rything I see.
2. I feel my Savior’s love;
Its gentleness enfolds me,
And when I kneel to pray,
My heart is filled with peace.
3. I feel my Savior’s love
And know that he will bless me.
I offer him my heart;
My shepherd he will be.
4. I’ll share my Savior’s love
By serving others freely.
In serving I am blessed.
In giving I receive.
Chorus
He knows I will follow him,
Give all my life to him.
I feel my Savior’s love,
The love he freely gives me.
