A Life Remembered

"God be with you till we meet again;
When life's perils thick confound you,
Put his arms unfailing round you,
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet.
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again."

As Latter Day Saints, we believe in forever families. Which means that there is no "Rest in Peace", There is, "Till we meet again".
We are a family forever.
We are together for eternity. Just because you pass on, that doesn't mean we will never see you again. You get to go home. You get to go live with your Heavenly Father. You get to see your loved ones that have passed on before you. You get to give your family, who you've missed, hugs and kisses. You get to see them again.
Eternal families are of great comfort to me.
Yes. You will be missed by those you leave behind.
Yes. Tears will be shed as we remember what a kind, sweet, loving man you were. How you loved your children. How you loved ALL Children. How it didn't matter who we were, or how we were related. We were family and that was good enough for you. How you taught your boys how to be respectful to others and help when they see a need, instead of waiting to be asked.  How you loved unconditionally.
We will always have these memories. We will always cherish these memories. We can not WAIT till we get to see you and get one of your famous Big Hugs!   We DO Get to see you again. It isn't "Good-Bye", It's "C-ya Later".
"God be with you till we meet again" Uncle Shane
We Love you!
