A Sad Day

Dear Family and Friends,

It is with a sad but thankful heart that I tell you that my mother passed away peacefully today.  I am grateful her suffering is over, and grateful that she is with my Dad again, along with many other loved ones that have gone before.  I am especially grateful for a merciful Father in Heaven who allowed her to stay here on earth long enough for me to arrive home and spend several hours with her before her passing.  I recognize it as a blessing and tender mercy.  

I have truly been blessed with peace over the past few weeks.  I am keenly aware, and have even been surprised myself at the comfort and peace I felt during this process.  I recognize the Lord’s hand in blessing us.   It is true.  The Lord takes care of His missionaries.

I am grateful for the knowledge of eternal families.  I am grateful for my parent’s temple marriage nearly 67 years ago.  I am grateful to know that I will see them again and be with them eternally.

Thank you for your love and prayers through this difficult month.  I am eternally grateful for each of you and the love and friendships we share.

Funeral will be Saturday.

Love to all,

Ron and Marie
