One year ago today the world lost an amazing man.

This man, was my father-in-law. He led a wonderful life. He and my mother-in-law worked hard to provide for their family with wonderful things and great experiences, an example of faithful service to others. They served others as missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving several missions: Boston, Massachusetts, Cove Fort, Utah, Girls Summer Camp Hosts, and Temple Workers.

They shared their love for life in different ways. He was an athlete and very skilled at most sports. Skiing might have been a favorite. He loved it so much he spent the weekends teaching others to ski. He taught me how to ski. I think he skied till he was 75 years old or so. He had a special bicycle that made riding long distances more comfortable. He rode around Bear Lake with my hubby and some of our kids. He loved golf, tennis, and racketball. We both shared a love for maps and finding places using maps. He blessed many while on this planet. He helped me and my sweetie buy our first home. He always encouraged our family to do good and bless others.

The person he was as he lived here on earth is the same person he is in the Spirit World.

He has a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I’m sure he is serving and loving others.

We miss him.

We know that we will see him and be with him again though, and that knowledge is so important to us.

Families are Forever!
