Smith, Holly Beth Holly Beth Smith MySweet Butterfly Girl 4/25/78 ~ 11/13/04 No Words However eloquently spoken Masterfully phrased Can express the Love I have lost this day Holly was tragically taken from us, due to an automobile accident at 11th E. and 4500 So. on Nov 13, 2004. On the day she was born her daddy called her the most beautiful and perfect girl he had ever laid eyes upon. She was his horseshoeing partner and camping partner in her youth. She was a No Pink kinda girl. She was artistically talented, and a very levelheaded young lady. Holly had many facets of interest in her life, camping and fishing in the Uinta Mountains, and being a member of The Society for Creative Anachronism where she learned to belly dance were among her favorites. All her grandparents precede her in death. She is survived by her parents Barbara Myers Smith of Nyssa, Oregon; Ronald L. (Alice) Smith of Vernal, Utah; her sister Rosemary (Bruce Call) of Edgewood, Texas; her soul mate and Fianc‚ Richard A. Bullock. She loved her animals, Wolfgang and Ogre, Boo kitty, and Dotomus. I loved her so much. The brief time that I had to spend with her was just precious to me, our trips to Moon Lake, walking under a star filled clear night talking of the future and what it held for us. I'm going to miss talking to her, being able to hold her close, and of course putting mud in her hair. Bye my sweet love, My Butterfly Girl I called Holly Smith our little Iron Butterfly on many occasions. The title seemed to fit so well. She was a woman of great strength, clear insight, and high intelligence with a direct sense of purpose. Holly was also flamboyant, fun loving, a schemer, and a dreamer. I am not Holly's best friend; that title goes to another. I am also not, the most beautiful woman in town, or the most talented, courteous or patient. But Holly always made me believe I was in the running. She always held me up to my potential and never let me down. She treated all her family and friends like precious flowers. Feeding us just enough sunshine, water and B.S. for us to thrive in her company. What we will do without our little iron butterfly is up to each of us. I intend to keep her close to my soul where she has always been.

Linda was found in her Taylorsville home by John D. Salter, Linda's fiance. Linda's father, Guy Jay Webb and her mother Anna Mae Powell preceded her in death. Linda's older brother William Ronald Webb and his family reside in Las Vegas, Nevada. Linda was taken to Las Vegas without services in Salt Lake City, for interment. Linda and I were not married. I had no say in her wishes. Linda was born in Virginia. As a little girl Linda and her family moved to East Carbon, Utah making many girlfriends. After four years of college, Linda moved to Salt Lake and soon became the private secretary for the Utah Attorney General. Linda also worked for the Utah Health Department. Linda talked to me often of her girlfriends that moved to California, Reno, Nevada, Salt Lake and the ones that stayed in East Carbon. I had no access to Linda's address book. I wish it was possible to talk to all of you. Linda loved you so much. I, John, met Linda in 1994 and we became great friends for years. On December 25, 2003 Linda and I became engaged after realizing that wonderful friendship and love we had for each other. We were looking forward to December 22, 2004 when we would be together for all time. To find a girl like Linda and then to lose her so soon is such a tragedy. I'll never be the same without her. Linda was caring, giving, intelligent and a sweetheart. We are lost forever from each other. I have no place to go, no place for flowers that Linda loved so much, no place to grieve. Linda loved me, looked after me, understood me, forgave me, stood by me and then the only thing she ever did to me was to die and leave me. Linda, I'll see you soon, John.
