Remeber Who You Are

Today at 7:38 a.m., our amazing Mother returned to her Savior. She was surrounded by her children, sister, and husband. We will miss her dearly, but are so grateful that she is no longer suffering from her illnesses. The words that she comforted me with when my sister died keep running through my mind. She taught us about the plan of salvation and gave us the knowledge that we would need to continue on with our journeys.

Last night was so hard for her; however, I feel so much peace this morning. She lived a beautiful life and was an amazing example to so many around her. She is an amazing mother! I am so grateful for her example of patience. Patience was one of her greatest strengths. She has endured her journey well.




Please understand that today we would like to just be with family and celebrate our amazing mother. We appreciate all of the unending compassion we have been given over the last 21 months.



This is how we want to remember our mother. Always ready to have fun. These pictures are from the summer of 2009.



Our entire lives as we walked out the door, mom would shout, "Remember Who You Are." Today we will remember who we have become because of her unending love and example in our lives.
