Wonderful

Yesterday was the funeral for Camille.  I am grateful I was able to attend and I have also felt truly blessed.



These are the loving hands of Camille, Stephanie, and Stephanie's mother.  A loving bond.
Jonathan and Stephanie (Camille's parents, my husband's brother) both spoke.  Stephanie was adamant to only have it be a happy, uplifting and celebrated service about Camille.  I knew they had such courage and spiritual strength through all of this - but to hear the messages that they wanted to say and listen to their, now stronger, faith in the Savior and his eternal plan... I don't have the words to describe my feelings.  Jonathan and Stephanie were inspired.  I felt that loving feeling from the Spirit of the Lord which was present ~ it was practically palpable. I left a different person.  Actually, I felt humbled to get to be apart of such love felt in that chapel.  It was a special experience for me.  So sweet.

I hope you read how Stephanie felt about it all on her blog, here.

I was hoping to finally meet you in person! Aaron did such a great job at the piano (of course). It was an amazing funeral service with such a strong spirit! Next time you guys are in Vegas (or St. George) we will have to get together.

Nancy told me about your niece, and I was so sad to hear such a tragedy. What a beautiful baby, and what an incredible perspective her parents have. I followed your link to their blog and thought it was sweet of Stephanie to thank everyone who had hugged their own children a little tighter since the accident. We can all learn so much from her!
