In Memory...

When a parent passes you think you are prepared, but it rocks your soul. I'm headed to California today for my father's funeral services. It's pretty surreal. I take comfort in my faith and know that beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will see him someday. Love you dad.

What is thing thing a man call death?

This quiet passing in the night?

'Tis not the end but genesis

Of better worlds and greater light.

O God, touch Thou my aching heart

And calm my troubles, haunting fears

Let hope and faith, transcendent, pure

Give strength and peace beyond my tears.

There is no death, but only change

With recompense for vict'ry won

The gift of Him who loved all men

The Son of God, the Holy One.

by President Gordon B. Hinkley (1910-2008)
