When I was expecting you Trevor, my mom said to me "The true test of my parenting skills won't be apparent until your children grow up Katherine." I never really understood that completely until now. I just read the book "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle," and the family bred and raised "the next generation of dogs." They couldn't detect if the best traits of the dog parents, like knowing, obedience and kindness were passed on, until their posterity, their grandchildren were grown up. Well, your Grandma can rest assured that she was effective, because you have inherited her best traits: a willingness to work hard, the ability to persevere despite insurmountable barriers, a gift with animals and love of the Savior. We are so proud of you. And I know that all your ancestors look on and agree and find great pleasure in you, their posterity.

Oh, I love all the pics of Trevor. I see the younger Trevor and think of our dancing days in the living room having so much fun. He's such a handsome young man now. Time goes by too fast.
It does go by way too fast! That's one of Trevor's happy memories "flippies" in the front room with Heidi-Ho
I remember Trevor as a Tiger Scout. Always a sweet kid looking out for others. You have raised a great young man! Happy Birthday Trevor.
