Kris met this trial with dignity and grace and never complained. Kris is the daughter of Don B and Hazel R. Tolman, twin sister to Kathy Reed and sister of Mike Tolman. Kris was raised and educated in Bountiful where she graduated from Bountiful High School with high honors. She later attended BYU. Kris waited for her best friend Robert while he served his mission in Canada. Shortly after his return they were married for time and eternity on June 2, 1972 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. From that day forward Kris dedicated her life to her husband. She never wanted anything for herself but was always thinking of others. She was so unselfish. She learned to enjoy camping and going to the Greys River to fish and be with her family. Oh how we will miss the trips to the cabin in Star Valley and to Jackson and Cody! Until her illness Kris served faithfully in many organizations but her favorite was the primary. She served as primary president, in the young women presidency and in the relief society. Kris always supported Robert in his callings and served hundreds of Navajo tacos to his young men. Kris loved to cook and built a great family tradition of Sunday dinner every week. Even with her illness and as sick as she was she wanted the family around her Sundays and all of the time. Kris loved being a mother and faithfully raised five children in the gospel of Jesus Christ. She always taught and supported three sons who became Eagle Scouts, received duty to God awards, served full time missions, and married in the temple. She raised her two daughters to become worthy daughters of God and how to be wonderful wives and mothers. Kris raised some very special children who she dearly loves and is so proud of. Kris loved her special daughters-in-law and grandchildren. Her family was her life. May we all follow her example to be an eternal family. There is a huge hole in our hearts, but it will be filled by our love and memories of having the best, our beautiful Kris. Kris emulated the true love of Christ in her life and through her good works. She loved serving others and never said anything negative. She has been the perfect example in every way. Kris enjoyed working for the Boyer Company for 11 years. She truly loved her work and her coworkers. Thank you Boyer Company and especially Diane "for waiting". She always wanted to go back but never made it.

Curtis, husband, father, grandpa, great-grandpa, brother and friend will be deeply missed. Dad left this life as he lived it - nobly. How can words do justice to a life so well-lived and so well-loved? How does a family pay tribute to a person whose life exhibited the very essence of all that is virtuous, lovely, of good report or praiseworthy? We are comforted that he is now in the presence of our Savior and will be able to do what he has always loved doing, which is serving others. Truly of him it can be said, "well done, thou good and faithful servant." As a family, we have the certain knowledge that death is not the end and this period of separation is only temporary.

In addition to his beloved wife Muriel, Dale is survived by two sons D. Jay (Kathryn) and Alan M. (Kay), and two daughters Barbara Hansen (David) and Janet Call (Brooke). A daughter, Marcia Oliekan, preceded Dale in 1993. At the time of his passing, Dale and Muriel were blessed with 22 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren. Dale is also survived by two of his younger brothers, Lindsay R. (Marjorie) Curtis, and LeGrand R. (Patricia) Curtis. As a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Dale was always blessed with a strong and valiant testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and believed in continuous Church service to the best of his ability. His service included Regional Representative of the Twelve, Netherlands Mission president, Young Men's General Board, Director of Temple Square and Visitor Centers, member of a bishopric, and Sealer in the Laie Hawaii and Jordan River Temples. Dad was a loving husband and devoted father. His greatest joy was being involved in the activities of his family. Whether at Huntsville for the 4th of July or vacations with each of his children and their families at Lake Powell, Steamboat Springs or Yellowstone Park, he always loved being with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He fought a short but valiant battle against cancer and his mighty heart stopped beating, then he peacefully returned to the arms of his Heavenly Father. He was a noble man, a truly loved and loving father, a spiritual giant, a brilliant academic, and an influential industry leader. He and his eternal sweetheart of 51 years, Jaroldeen Asplund Edwards, were sealed in life as they will be in eternity. Theirs was a truly glorious marriage! They were the parents of 12 wonderful children, 75 splendid grandchildren, and the miracle of seven great-grandchildren. He was born in New York City and at the age of 12 was admitted to a prestigious high school. He attended Brigham Young University, graduating Phi Kappa Phi, where he was elected business manager of the student body. He and his wife, Jaroldeen, spent two years in Dayton, Ohio where he achieved the rank of Captain in the U.S. Air Force. After-wards, they went to Boston where Weston spent five years at Harvard Business School, receiving an MBA and a Doctorate in Finance and Banking. He graduated first in his class at Harvard and was the Donald David Kirk Scholar and a Baker Scholar. In subsequent years, he worked in the financial industry in Chicago, New York, Dallas, and Los Angeles. He became an industry leader and consultant in the real estate and mortgage banking industry and was nationally renowned. He was the founder and chairman of the National Housing Roundtable. He was currently teaching at the Marriott School of Management as well as continuing his vigorous consulting business. He was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was humble, powerful in his testimony, close to the Spirit and a great student of the scriptures. He always served with total dedication as a bishop, counselor in a stake presidency, High Priest Group Leader, and many other positions of leadership. He declared the gospel with all his might and he was a master teacher. Members will always remember his booming bass voice in each ward choir where he sang, as well as his resounding "Amen" after every prayer. Missionary work was always close to his heart, and one of the great joys of his life was when he and his wife served in the South African Mission (Johannesberg), where they established institutes and seminaries and fell in love with the people of South Africa. Weston and Jaroldeen were serving as temple workers at the Timpanogos Temple at the time of his death. The focus of his life was always his family. He loved his children fiercely and his abiding motto was "Make Righteousness Fun." He succeeded in making family life a great adventure for every child. He had a deep and abiding love for children. Every grandchild could not wait to run to his breathtaking embrace and they knew they were loved unconditionally. He prayed every morning and night for every child, grandchild, and great-grandchild by name. This magnificent man filled every minute of his life with meaningful labor and the Lord took him home mid-stride. All 115 members of his immediate posterity pray that they will follow his pure example.
