In Loving Memory

This is probably the hardest post to write. I have such mixed feelings about it. I am incredibly sad and yet peaceful. My Sweet mom passed away Sunday morning. She had MS for 15 or so years. We knew it was coming, but it definitely doesn't make it any easier. She is such a great woman, and she held on for so long. She truly did endure to the end. It is tough to be so far away from family at a time like this. I've cried and cried and I know there is more still to come.  I also know that our family can be together again forever. I know she is freed from her diseased body.  Walking and talking and doing many things as she did before she became too sick.  I know with all the knowledge she gained while in this life, she will be a great missionary for those who didn't have the chance in this life. I love my mom, and I am so grateful for the example she has been to me all these years. I will miss her very much. I can't wait to be with her once more and for her to be able to walk to me and welcome me home one day. There will be and open service in Spokane this Saturday May 30th.

Naomi, I am so very sorry for your loss. You sound like you have a good anchor in faith, but it must still be very very hard. Hang in there. I'm thinking of you. Amy (Danny's cousin)
