MY REAL LIFE WONDER WOMAN

I love this lady.

She's one of my best friends.

I miss when we don't have our daily talks.

She's my hero - in more than one way.

She's the reason why

I have the gospel in my life.

She paved the way.

For that I will always be eternally grateful.

Thanks for being a stalwart pioneer.

I love you.

Oh...and by the way...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

(should I tell them how old you are? Should I mention the fact that you have NEVER died your hair? I'm crossing my fingers that I have inherited THOSE genes.)

Go ahead, don't be shy.

Wish this Temple Matron a very

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ♥

Russell M. Nelson

"Parents who have surrendered the sweetest and smallest flowers from the family's garden need to remember our Heavenly Father. He has promised a special reward to those who now suffer in silence, who spend long days and longer nights through their trying times of bereavement. Our Creator has promised glory. He said, "For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but nigh at hand." (D&C 58:4) That promised glory includes the blessing of reunion with each child who has left the family circle to help surviving members of the family to draw nearer to God. Those children still live and are a heritage to the Lord."
