“We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.”
President Russell M. Nelson
I attended a wonderful funeral yesterday, honoring a friend whom, I now realize, I’ve known for very nearly half of my life. She was one of the finest people I’ve ever met, and her unexpected and premature departure leaves a vast hole in our neighborhood. The quotation from President Nelson above was cited in yesterday’s funeral service.
