The Sad News

I mentioned in my last post that I had some sad news that happened on Friday.  I wasn't planning on posting about it but I have had several people express concern over that comment so I will briefly explain.

Our next-door neighbors are not only wonderful neighbors and friends, but he (the husband) is the bishop of our ward.  Their youngest is graduating from high school this week.  Their oldest, 25-year-old Jenny, was coming home from BYU-Idaho to attend the seminary graduation on Sunday night and  the high school graduation on Wednesday.  While traveling on the freeway, south of Idaho Falls, her tire blew and she lost control of her car.  The car rolled several times, ejecting her (even though she was wearing a seat belt) from her car.  She passed away after arriving at the Portneuf hospital. 

I saw and heard the grief and pain her family went through when they were informed of her death.  My heart has been grieving for them ever since.  This is a parent's worst nightmare!
The whole family was in church today.  What an example of strength that comes in knowing the plan of salvation and in being an eternal family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to them.
