I was saddened when I saw the obituary just now. I didn't know Lorin and Ruby very well and hadn't seen either of them for many years, but I know they were exemplary people in the church, the community and their family. What a great legacy they have left behind. They will be missed for years to come. Know my thoughts and prayers are with your family and I am sorry for your loss.

Brother Young was one of the nicest people on earth. He was the first to extend a hand and never met a stranger. He made us feel like we were his beloved family. He will be sorely missed.

Dear Friends and Family,
I am sad to see that Lorin is gone, but I am also imagining the wonderful reunion he and Ruby are having right now. The last time I saw him was in Idaho Drug just before Steve and I were leaving for our mission. He was so happy and peaceful, still talking about Ruby like she was standing at his side, he never quit missing her. I loved them both and feel honored to call them my friends. Many times I felt closer to them than to my own parents. I loved being in their home, hearing Lorin's crazy jokes, and seeing that mischievous look come to his face and know that I was going to hear a joke, sometimes directed at me and I always fell for it. Ruby was so sweet and kind, always looking for a way to serve even when she got so tired toward the end. To all the family, Steve and I will miss Lorin, but the last time we saw him, he knew he wouldn't be around when we got home from our mission. Luckily I gave him and big hug and kiss and was able to tell him that I loved him and sweet Ruby. God bless you all. We know you will miss them, but Lorin and Ruby are singing and dancing together no longer missing each other. We love you and pray for peace for you as you struggle through the next few weeks. Thank Heavens we know this isn't the end. God bless you all. Stephen and Bonnie Meyers
