His short life ended April 15, 2005. Landen was my little jokester; he always had a joke to make someone who was sad happy. His purpose in life was to have fun whether it was playing Playstation, his Gameboy, or showing his mom his latest "skate" tricks. He always liked doing things with the people he loved. He had many friends who were always excited and anxious to be with Landen. His very best friend would have to be his brother, Cody. Cody and Landen's relationship was very special, always helping each other along the way. Cody knows that Landen is with his Heavenly Father who loves him in Heaven and Cody talks to him often. Landen was a member of the LDS Church and had just become a scout which he enjoyed very much. Landen had a very special artistic ability. He loved to draw things that made him happy and also would share his work with everyone. Some of his favorite things to do was make people laugh, wrestle with his brothers, Kaden and Cody, and his stepdad, Troy. They were always having fun together, especially with the outside activities they enjoyed. Landen loved to camp and hike and loved riding our four wheeler that Troy and him went together to pick out. Landen was his mom's pride and joy and my little buddy. He touched everyone he knew and always lit up the room. Landen -- you are my sunshine and my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away. Momma loves you and my sunshine will never go away.

Beaumont Alice D Beaumont Meredith 1912 ~ 2005 Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, Alice Meredith, 92, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2005. She was born on December 3, 1912 in Beaver, Utah to Joseph Heber Beaumont and Georgina Boyter. As a 25-year-old waitress, she married her boss, Arthur John Childs Meredith on May 9, 1938 in Beaver. The marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on August 23, 1961. Alice's life was a synonym of selfless service. She was never afraid of hard work and was often heard asking, "What can I do for you?" Working on a farm, then countless hours at the Meredith Caf in Beaver (where she was famous for her pies) prepared her for her responsibilities later in their Meredith Motel: washing and hanging clothes, cleaning rooms, and waiting on guests. She did all this in addition to the responsibilities that came with being a wife and mother. Alice was a gracious hostess, a wonderful cook, and a beautiful seamstress. She spent countless hours sewing temple clothing and once won a ribbon for sewing an exquisite beaded wedding dress for her granddaughter. Heavenly Father gave her many gifts: she loved to paint and play the piano and organ and often entertained her children and grandchildren with her music. She enjoyed learning and increasing her knowledge, continuing to sign up for classes even in her late 80's. It's no wonder that later in her life, she just couldn't sit still! As an active member of the LDS Church, she worked for several years (until her health would no longer allow) in three different temples: Provo, Mt. Timpanogas, and Jordan River. In her lifespan she saw a lot of changes in the world. She went from horse and buggy to cars and airplanes. She taught her family to be selfless in serving others, to be patient in difficult circumstances, and to be charitable to everyone. She is survived by seven children, three born to both she and Art: Ralph Joseph (Beata) Meredith of Murray, Utah; Alice G.

Smith, Mona Andrus Mona Andrus Smith 1938 ~ 2005 Mona Andrus Smith, 66, of Provo, died after a long and courageous struggle with cancer on Tax Day, April 15, 2005. She was born September 1, 1938 in Idaho Falls to Todd Andrus and Hortense Hansen Andrus. She was married in the Idaho Falls Temple on June 1, 1962 to Kendall Smith. Kendall passed away on November 12, 1993. Together she and Kendall did a spectacular job of raising their three children, Paul and (Melanie) Smith, Wendy and (David) Frandsen, Mike and (Carolina) Smith, and 10 wonderful grandchildren, all of whom will miss her deeply. She is also survived by her sister and two brothers. Mona grew up on a farm in Idaho with dreams of becoming a musician. She worked her way through college by teaching music lessons and working on the family dry farm in the summers. She graduated from college in 1960, receiving both her bachelors and masters degrees from Brigham Young University. She began teaching piano there in 1961and retired in 2004. Mona was a dedicated performer and played for many groups including the BYU philharmonic symphony orchestra. She was a long time member of the Utah Music Teacher's Association, and loved to teach music. She felt that it could literally change lives. Over the years she taught over 250,000 music lessons. Although she was a strict teacher, her former students have sent her hundreds of letters of appreciation. After her retirement she missed her students and the chance teaching gave her to change lives and help people. She respected her colleagues at BYU and loved them like a second family. Mona loved her grandchildren as much as her own kids. She always remembered their birthdays and special occasions and managed to make each one of them feel important. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all of her life. She was a ward organist for more than 50 years, and served in many other callings including Young Women's president, Relief Society president, and gospel doctrine teacher. Mona lived in the same home in Provo for 38 years and will be missed by her many friends and neighbors. Mona had a great sense of humor and celebrated life whenever she had the chance. She often expressed this by saying that you had to stop and buy yourself a white hyacinth every so often. She always kept homemade brownies in her kitchen and often shared them with her co-workers. She enjoyed BYU sports and followed the teams avidly. She loved to shop, and in fact literally shopped 'til she dropped. We would like to offer a special thanks to all of the doctors, nurses and health care providers involved in the care of our mother over the last two years.
