Nothing is more constant than change as they say -
One thing after another has been happening from
the beginning of April until today, the end of April -
My life has been turned upside down in so many ways. . .
Some would say they are all bad -
I will say they are all necessary!
Thankful for the knowledge that I have a Heavenly Father
who knows me and loves me for who I am
and What He Knows I Can BECOME -
The many experiences in these last 30 days have
changed my life forever - I have come to understand
that nothing is permanent and nothing is fair -
but all experiences that we have can be learned from
and all opportunities that present themselves can be
for our good, if we are willing to accept them
With an attitude of learning and growth!
Serving others is the best way to UNDERSTAND
who you are and what you can BECOME -
Stay busy doing good, look forward to the little things
that come our way, appreciate others goodness
and seek the guidance of the Spirit in all areas.
THE ORIGINALS :: it's a hard-knock life. the comings and goings of our wonderful kids and posterity - We know JOY! We are GRATEFUL for all that He has blessed us with! Looking forward to spending more time together in 2012!
ROBERTO - my father, my fan and my friend!
Roberto (Bob) Favero, 6/12/1926-4/6/2012, of Bakersfield, CA, was born to Giovanni and Hazel Favero, in Kanesville, Utah; the 7th of 14 children. Robert was preceded in death by his parents and four brothers. He is survived by his eternal companion, Carroll Jean Shanklin Favero, their children, Dayna Nichols (Steve) of Bakersfield, Jeff (Sheila) and Nate (Leti) of Ogden, UT. He is also survived by 8 brothers, 1 sister, 17 grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren. Robert was raised on the family farm and learned the value of hard work with a natural ability to fix anything. He developed his musical talents early and began singing as a small child at weddings and missionary farewells. As a young adult, he sang in the Ogden Tabernacle Choir. Robert served in the army during World War II. Upon his return, he served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Great Lakes Mission, 1948-1950. While in Ohio, he met Carroll and they were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on November 3, 1950. He attended Weber College and finished his Banking & Finance degree at University of Utah. He worked at First Security Bank in Ogden and Brigham City, UT, where they raised their family. He put family first, travelling often across the country to visit his wife’s family. They later moved to Sacramento, CA and finally to Bakersfield. From 2001-2002, Robert served a mission with his wife to the Alabama Birmingham Mission. Robert was a man of God, service, and family. He was known for his faith and strong testimony of Jesus Christ. Those closest will remember his sense of humor, nicknames, and teasing. His family will remember Grandpa Bob as a loving, affectionate and playful grandpa and all knew of his love and confidence.
