In death

Many years ago, my girl friend died a long and tragic death from cancer. It was so painful to her husband and four little kids, I do not know how they ever recovered. Sadly years later her husband killed himself. It was a terrible death and left 4 children with out parents. The prophet sent a letter to these 4 child and told them that their father was now in heaven and that our heavenly father was taking care of him. The prophet also wrote about the many great and wonderful things the father had done through his life. He stressed that their father would be judged for the good things in his life and not be judged on taking his life. He told how the lord knew the intent of our heart and spirit and the children had nothing to fear. This letter was read to our ward and at the funeral. It was a beautiful letter of love and hope. I wish i had it now. It allowed our hearts to heal. It is a wonderful thing to know that Heavenly father and Jesus will take care of everything and even though we have all sinned and made mistakes, ultimately we can all return to a loving Heavenly Father and mother. After all, we are only here for a blink of an eye and the test is just that -- a test-- as we become one with our father in heaven. We cannot fail with our brother Jesus by our side.
