Book of Poems

I finished typing in all of my great grandmother's poems today. 


 Mayhala May Fuller was born on the 25th of May, 1877 in Springville, Utah. She married William M. Mooney on the 20th of December, 1902. Together they had three children, Nevada Fern, Josephine Jewel (my grandma) and Robert Reed. She died July 18th, 1947 in Portland, Oregon. Although my mom was only 5 when she passed away, she still remembers her standing by a wood burning stove with her nylon stockings hanging down around her ankles, cooking and loving everyone around her. I hope you enjoy reading the "Blessings of May" as much as I enjoyed typing, reading and appreciating her poems written over 65 years ago.
