Dear Elder Atchley & Family, We are so sad to hear about the loss of Sister Atchley. Words cannot express feelings of sorrow, but it can be comforting to know that when our loved ones leave this world, they are greeted and held in the bossom of our Heavenly Father. Sister Atchley was a choice daughter and servant of our Lord and Savior. Although, I'm sure her family feels a void in their life and in their hearts, please know that our prayers are with you and accept our condolences.

Sincerely,

Russ, Sharon,

Dear Ron and Family,

I was so shocked when I first heard the news, that I made 2 telephone calls to LDS Public Relation and Information offices to confirm.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. Please except our condolences.

Remember, Heavenly Father's Plan of Salvation is in place, and he has given us the tools, that enables us to be with our dearly departed. This is important to remember, as it will help you get through this time of loss. I know that the agony of heartache and pain will never be forgotten, but hopefully in time, time will help sooth that pain, so that you and yours will find and feel that peace, that can only come from the lord.

Find comfort in the knowledge, that your faith, love, and compassion for one another will help steady you at this time in your lives. And, in the out pouring of prayers, warm thoughts, love, and support coming to you from all sides of the globe.

Always remember, the lord is a prayer away, and that he love you dearly.

Sincerely,

Leilua Fomai

Dear Elder Atchley and Family,

I am the daughter of Garry and Judy Guymon. My husband Clayton and I are deeply saddened at the passing of your wife. We know that Garry and Judy hold both of you dear to thier hearts and that they are heartbroken over your loss. Our family here have felt not only disbelief but our hearts ache along with you. We are confident that Sister Atchley was greeted by the Savior - he loves and cares about his missionaries. It is difficult to understand why He allows things such as this to happen and we can ask "why?" over and over. But we must remember that His purposes are fullfilled in all things and that He will right all the wrongs on this earth. We feel strongly that He cared deeply for your good wife, mother and grandmother and that she is safe in His rest. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time. May the Lord bless you and yours and fill your hearts, as only He can do, with his peace. With deepest sympany, Clayton and Jennette King

Elder Atchley and Family,

We were so shocked and saddened to hear and read about Sister Atchley's passing in Ivory Coast. We have a son, Elder Pierson, who is also serving in Ivory Coast. We know that it takes special people to be called to serve there and Sister Atchley must be one of them. We have also come to recognize just how important couple missionaries are and what a sacrafice you made to serve there. You have our deepest appreciation, respect and condolences and are in our prayers.
