The day I went with Doug to meet his family, I had an instant feeling of connection with his Mother.
She would not like me to call her my Mother-in-Law so I will call her Mom since that is how I felt about her.
She was always available. She was an extremely busy woman but if she was needed by any of her children she would drop everything and go.
When Doug was going to have open-heart surgery I thought I could handle it on my own but his Mother, oldest Brother Ron, sister Kathy, and Jay came. They helped me through the roughest week I have ever gone through. They were the stability I needed and what Doug needed. Mom bought Doug a really nice recliner to come home to, he has absolutely loved that chair. After she went home and squared away things she came back again for Adam's baptism.
Every possible blessing, baptism, wedding, graduation, ect. Mom was there. Before Dad Adamson passed away he was there also.
She was known for her music. She was a great piano player and played at church, weddings, funerals, for all kinds of programs, performed with wonderful singing groups going from one Rest Home to another. She played in the General Relief Society Building, Joseph Smith Building and in the temple. Music was an important part of her life and we believe she is playing in heaven.
She loved the temple and was a Temple Worker for many, many years. Doug remembers his parents going to the temple real often when he was growing up. What a blessing that has been in their six children's lives.
She was a spiritual giant. My most spiritual talks have been with her. Sometimes I would feel the hairs on my arms stand on end, the spirit was so strong. You knew she had a testimony and she shared it with everyone she possibly could.
She was a wonderful example to me and our family.
