My thoughts are with your family at this time of your mother, grand-mother, aunt and all the many things she was to all of us.
Most of all she was a wise, dear friend who will be missed tremendously. I had the great opportunity to serve with Ardis at the temple and in the Primary. She was full of insightful stories and love for Dick. I am sure she is rejoicing in their reunion. May you take comfort in the precious memories you have of her.
Most Sincerely, Kara Dunkel
John and Bill, please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother and my aunt. She was a wonderful person and, along with Dick, had a great deal of influence on me early in my life. I was sorry to hear of her passing, but take solace in the quality of the life that she lived.

You and your family are in my prayers.
John and Family,
We are going through the same process of losing our moms. Mine died on Christmas Day. Yours the day after. I will Always remember the smile your mom had on her face and her many words of wisdom. Her HCE presence will be missed at all our functions.
Jim and I express our sympathy along with our Block family on your loss. May she and Dick rest in peace.
Dear Howell family, we extend to you all our deepest sympathy in the loss of your mom, mother-in-law, dear grandma, and great-grandmother. Don & Kathy Decker
So sorry to hear of Aunt Ardis' passing. Our thoughts and prayers go to her children and their children. She was a wonderful seamstress and I still have some of the lace she gave me at my wedding...I still think of her when I see it. Glad she reunited with Uncle Dick again!
Dear Family, I send my sympathy to all of you. Ardis was a fun cousin and one I looked up to. I loved to hear her play the accordion. I am glad for our memories growing up in Salt Lake City and in Ogden. I loved her family. I'm glad for our few family pictures.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. Ardis has been a part of my family's life for so many years. My daughter remembers her as someone who always tailored her prom dresses, just so. She will be missed.
I loved Ardis...She spoke at our baptism in 1988 and has remained a wonderful friend throughout all these years. We loved Dick too and made some great trips with them to the temple. She taught my children in Primary and served with me in many capacities at the Steeleville Branch. Althogh we have been separated by distance for many years we have seen each at least once a year when we would visit Steeleville...God Bless her family and friends...She will be sorely missed by all.
Dear Howell family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Ardis was a fine person & we enjoyed talking sewing with her. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
