On August 13th we got the terrible news about my cousin Laney. She passed away while hiking with her boyfriend in Willard Canyon. We have been sad, mad, scared, shocked and all the other emotions that come with a sudden death. I have been touched and humbled by the love of others. Laney’s viewing is tonight and her funeral is tomorrow.
Life is purposeful and a gift. We have the chance to uplift and help those around us. We may not have tomorrow. If there is someone you need to forgive-do it! If there is someone you need to love more-do it! We don’t know when our time is gone.
In spite of very real pain I have felt a lot of peace. I know that Our Savior suffered for us. He suffered all the pain we will ever feel. He loves us perfectly because he understands us perfectly. I know that when we rely on him we can feel the love of his atonement and find peace in his love for us.
Here are a few links from the week.

Though very sad, I have also found comfort knowing that we will see her again.
Thinking of and praying for you and your family!!
Oh Bethany, i am so sorry for your loss. May you find peace during this difficult time. I wish I could hug you in person!
