We visited my mom’s grave on Memorial Day with the Murray, Sarah, and my dad. I can’t believe it’s been 17 years since she passed away! She’s been gone longer now than I knew her. I’m grateful for my memories of her to make her still feel close.

I’m so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. That even though she’s not with us here right now, that I will get to see her again. I’m grateful that my parents were sealed for eternity in the Salt Lake LDS temple back in 1980 so that my mom’s death was not the end. Families are eternal. What a blessing to know that!

After we shared some memories of her, cute Evelyn and Afton put some extra flowers in the gravestones that didn’t have any. Evelyn was very concerned that they would be sad if they didn’t have any. Sweet girls.
