Our dear mother, grandmother, and sister, Leona Lucille Feucht, age 87, passed away on Friday morning, July 13, 2007 at Miramont Pointe Senior Living Center after suffering a heart attack. Leona died exactly 10 years, to the date, after her husband Samuel Feucht.

Leona was born on August 17, 1919 in Tremonton Utah to Aaron and Lena Eggli into a family of 11 children. She married Samuel Feucht on Feb. 27, 1949 in Maywood, CA. They were blessed with six children: Dennis of Belize, Lewis of Oregon City, OR, Kenneth of Puyallup, WA, Karen of Austin, TX, Gaylon of Portland, OR, and Gloria of Vancouver, WA. She is also survived by 8 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. Leona was a loving mother, homemaker, and member of the Apostolic Christian Church.

She will be greatly missed by family and friends.

Since Auntie Rachel is leaving for Iowa tomorrow, we decided to throw a small early birthday party for Sammy, with just Auntie Rachel, Mommy, Patrick and Sammy. Here are some pictures from our little party!

Giving Sammy his cupcake

“Wow…. candle… fire!!!”

Playing with the frosting

Frosting is fun!!!

Smushing cupcake is also fun!

Patrick is an old pro when it comes to cupcake eating

Sammy finally gets something into his mouth…

…and he suddenly understands the joys of eating a chocolate cupcake!

Clue #1: Both first and middle names are found in the Bible

Clue #2: The first name is found in the Old Testament, and the middle name is found in the New Testament 

The ancient Chinese came up with a chart which was suppose to determine the gender of your baby based upon the age of the mother and the conception month of the baby. I have no idea why anyone would believe that this actually works, and I wouldn’t recommend using this chart in order to conceive a certain gender. However, in my three pregnancies, the chart has been correct in it’s predictions twice. Let’s just call it a lucky guess!

Here’s the link to the chart: Chinese Gender Chart

By the way, we’ve already had several people correctly guess the gender based upon the first clue! I’ll probably give one or two more hints before I end up blurting it out, because it’s hard to come up with good hints for gender!!!

This morning, July 13, 2007, my last living grandparent, Leona Lucille Feucht, passed away. She died exactly ten years to the day after the death of her husband, Samuel Jacob Feucht, whom Sammy was named after.

I don’t know any other details, but I thought I’d let you all know.
