MARRINER MITCHELL IS THE LAST OF MY
(WEST) NEIGHBORS TO PASS AWAY.
MARRINER & JOYCE MITCHELL
CECIL & NINA HANSEN
BILL & MARGARET SYKES
WHEN I MOVED TO AMERICAN FORK IN 1964,
THEY WERE MY NEIGHBORS, UNTIL WE
MOVED IN 2006.
MARRINER IS MY DAD'S COUSIN. HIS DAD AND
MY GRANDPA MITCHELL WERE BROTHERS.
I INTRODUCED HIS GRANDDAUGHTER, CORTNEY,
TO HER HUSBAND.
NINA HANSEN AND HER BROTHER, BILL SYKES,
ARE MY GRANDMA HOWARD'S COUSINS.
I APPRECIATED HOW THEY ALWAYS WERE SO
KIND AND NURTURING TO ME!
RIP, MARRINER.
