that is the right thing for you to be doing. Remember always that you hold the power of the Priesthood which can be a shield to you when all else may fail. The more you respect and honor the Priesthood, the greater your protection and the more you will grown spiritually. Little do you realize what great things you may accomplish by a chance word or a kind action or perhaps explaining some principle of the gospel to someone who is desirous of knowing. Don't worry about us having money as I really don't need any until the first of the month. I really wish you had taken more money when you returned (to San Diego) as I knew you didn't have too much." July 26, 1943 GRATEFUL WIFE and MOTHER Madeleine writes to Vern: "I feel most thankful for the many blessings that have been bestowed on me in the past and that I now enjoy. I am the most fortunate girl in the world to have you for my husband, and we both have a darling son." August 17, 1943 Madeleine to Vern:"Last night Ida took me to the Orpheum to see 'This is The Army'. It was really a good show, and I enjoyed it ever so much. If you haven't already seen it, do so as soon as you have the opportunity." August 22, 1943 MEMORIES of RICHARD LINDQUIST MARRIOTT (Madeleine writing to her niece, Shirley who is a sister to Richard) "We are heart-broken over the loss of Richard (Lindquist Marriott). It was such a blow to us to get this sad news. Richard had written a beautiful letter (recently) that we all cherish. Though we knew the seriousness of Richard's illness and knew we could expect to lose him at anytime, still one is never prepared to give up those they love and admire. This loss is so hard for Mother and Dad to take. Poor Dad feels it keenly. After you called Mother, Dad put his head and arms down on the table, and there he stayed until I told him to go to bed. Then he took several days off from work. Naturally, we were all desirous for him (Richard) to be brought home. Mother was somewhat comforted to be able to see him laid away and attend the service (in Oakland, California). At her age, a trip of the kind she made is not any easy one. She hasn't been well since. You know that horrible old pain she has that comes up her shoulder into her head has bothered her a great deal. Then her high blood pressure bothers her also. But she is a brick and goes about her duties just the same. Oh, Shirley, Richard's passing hurt me deeply. It seems we have more or less mourned his death ever since a year ago last spring when we were informed of the seriousness of this condition. Knowing that your father (Horace) died with the same illness Richard was affected with made us realize how hopeless Richard's condition
