a sad goodbye


over the last few weeks, our ward has been left to deal with a tragedy that truly left us shaken and in mourning. we lost 3 of our members and it was a horrible time for us to deal with. i have been amazed at the outpouring of love that has been shown throughout this time. of our sisters offering comfort to each other, serving in anyway they could and simply showing so much love. i know that the family truly felt of our love and concern and i am so grateful to be a part of and represent the relief society of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, especially  in a time like this.

our sisters in the gospel love, support and serve so easily, without hesitation. i am so grateful to have had so many of them by my side yesterday as we said a sad goodbye to 3 people we loved so much.



as i have said before (many times i am sure), i spent the better part of 10 years working in a funeral home on and off and learnt so much, including so many things that i could never put into words or advice that i could never attempt to write down on paper. but, when i came across these quotes some time back, i could see that they explain grief so much better than i ever could. so please use them, quote them and pass them on to those you know that are mourning, because i feel like they could really help someone.
