      Grace Stewart

      Sadly, my father's (DeLyle Beckstrand) memories of his mother are very f e w. He told me that on the day his mother died (he was just 5 years old ) h e remembered his dog howling. People were running in and out of th e hous e and he was told to stay outside so he sat on the front porch ste ps. H e knew something very bad had happened.

      Another memory from my father occurred after his mother had died. Whe n h e was a young boy riding his horse out on the desert herding cattle , he w as hot, tired, and had his leg thrown over the saddle horn while l oosel y holding the reins. Suddenly he heard his mother's voice just a s clea r as if she was right next to him. She said, "DeLyle! Sit in tha t saddl e and hold on!" He immediately obeyed and didn't even have tim e to wonde r about hearing his mother's voice when suddenly a very larg e rattlesnak e started buzzing right in front of the horse. The horse re ared back an d took off bucking in fright. DeLyle was holding on tight an d managed t o stay on the horse, rather than being thrown off on top of t hat snake . Being bitten by a rattlesnake, without a horse to get back t o town, wo uld have been a death sentence for the young boy. His mother w as watchin g over him then and he felt she always did throughout his life .
