My Grandma Linda is a sight to behold. If I were to describe her in five words they would be generous, classy, diva, and world traveler. She is taking on the world one step at a time, and I look up to her completely. Not only is she the CEO of a company that she started, but she has received her PH.D., written three books, and is the best grandma anyone could ask for. Pedicure trips, shopping sprees, and taking the family on vacations does not even begin to describe how kind she is to her grandchildren. She has always been an active member in my life. She is one of the most generous people I have ever met, freely giving of her time, money, and love.
She recently had her 70th birthday. My wonderful grandpa decided that he wanted to throw her a SURPRISE PARTY to show a small fraction of the gratitude countless people have towards her. He rented Eagle Gate Golf Course in Salt Lake and invited her children, grandchildren, employees, ward members, and various friends she has met over the years. By seven o’clock the room was filled with various decorations people had put together, and anxious guests awaiting her arrival.
As she pulled up, the lights went out and everyone fell silent. The surprise was evident on her face as she came into the room. She was completely flabbergasted at what awaited her in that room. It was not an empty room she thought she was touring for her friend’s reception, but instead it was a jammed packed room full of familiar smiling faces.
The remainder of the night everyone enjoyed dinner, a program full of stories, and a photo booth filled with crazy costumes. This night was all about her and the good she has done. I owe a great deal to her and my full love and respect goes out to her!
