Simple Reminders
As Dad and the five us knelt by Mom's bed for family prayer, we were reminded of what Mom would tell us each time we left home, "No empty chairs in the world to come." We were also reminded of the counsel given by Elder Neil A Maxwell, "rather than simply passing through trials, we must allow trials to pass through us in ways that sanctify us." Mom will always be the enduring legacy of allowing trials to sanctify her. May each of us follow her example of faith and courage.

Dear Chris & Family,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say how much I love you. You loved my girls so much when you worked with them in church and they came to love you so much in return. They've missed out on having a grandma and having someone else love them the way a grandma loves her grandchildren well, it meant so much to them and to me.
Victoria and Dorothy have told me of all the wonderful times they spent with you in primary and then again with the girls at activity days. They treasure those moments. You have been a great influence and I thank you for sharing yourself and your love.
Our prayers are with you always.
With all my heart,
Phoebe Tea
