A Legacy of Faith

on July 16, 2010

My courageous, faithful mother was taken home to her Heavenly Father last night. I think of her when I read the scriptural account of the 2000 stripling warriors. “We do not doubt our mothers knew it.” (Alma 56:48) My mom shared her testimony often in the way she lived her life and in the sacrifices she made for her family and for others. I will miss her dearly while here in mortality, but I will be reunited with her again. I know this for a surety. I love you mom!

    Your mom was a wonderful person. I had many good visits with her as her bishop and home teacher. She was really one who had a pure heart.
