IN MEMORY OF TASCHE

Last week we received some pretty devastating news, that Clays sister Tasche had died. It was a shock and really hard to take in. This past week we went to the funeral and saw her beautiful 3 week old twins. As we traveled to Boise we had time to cry and to talk and to think. This tragedy has been really hard to cope with. Clay and I defiantly grew even stronger through this. I didn't know Tasche very well, but what I knew of her was that she was a great person who loved kids, animals and her husband. She was so loving, she had such a great heart that she was always worried about everyone else but her. Keola, Ikaika, and Makakoa will be in our prayers as their journey is about to begin. We are here for them and want them to know we love them. We love you Tasche, you will be greatly missed.

Tasche Thompson Murray Stone
1983 - 2009

Tasche Thompson Murray Stone, cherished wife, beloved daughter, devoted mother and treasured friend, passed away the evening of February 26, 2009 at age 25.

Tasche was born March 1, 1983 to Dianne Murray in Southeast Idaho, where she was raised. While attending BYU-Idaho and earning her associate's degree, Tasche met her future husband and best friend, Keola Stone.

Tasche and Keola were married and sealed for time and all eternity in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple on September 12, 2003. The two shared a passion for humor, family and each other.

Tasche's kind heart and vivacious personality made her a favorite at family gatherings; children were drawn to Tasche and were constantly seeking her comforting smile and open arms. Tasche and Keola started their family immediately by adopting their first four furry children; dogs Dobby and Winky, and cats Mary and Jane. Together they strived to create a life and home full of love and support.

Tasche pursued a career in nursing and completed the LPN program at Apollo College in the fall of 2008, while also preparing for the birth of their long awaited first two children. Tasche and Keola welcomed their twin sons, Ikaika and Makakoa in February 2009.

Tasche's compassion and concern for others were beyond measure and will be missed by those many lives she touched.

Tasche is survived by her devoted husband, Keola who cherished her in every way, her adored sons Ikaika and Makakoa, mother Dianne, 5 brothers and 5 sisters; father and mother in-law, Lui and Gwen Stone and many aunts, uncles and relatives.

Funeral services for Tasche will be held Monday, March 2, 2009, at the LDS Chapel at 1500 Smith Avenue in Nampa, ID at 11 a.m. A viewing will be held Monday from 10-10:45 a.m. at the church prior to services. Interment will be at Kohlerlawn Cemetery, Nampa.

Arrangements are under the direction of Zeyer Funeral Chapel, Nampa. In lieu of flowers an education fund has been arranged for her sons. Contributions can be made at Home Federal Bank under the name, Tasche Stone, or call 208-468-5100.

I am so sorry to hear that. I hope that everything works out for her husband and small boys. They will be in my prayers. Was it an accident? I couldn't help crying, and thinking how that small family will be changed forever.

Wow! Thank you that was awesome! I'm still trying to get over it. It is hard and it always will be. I never dreamed it would be this hard to cope with but it is. Thanks that was sad to read but kind of uplifting in a way. Which probably sounds really weird. Anyway you guys are in my prayers and I love you all.
