Carl J. Beecroft

It was with much sorrow that I read today in the Church News about the passing of President Beecroft. My thoughts go back 44 years when I first met him in Chile. He was a bear of a man with twinkling eyes and wide smile who would wrap his arms around you in a big "abrazo" every time we met. He loved the missionaries and the Chilean people. I worked with him as a counselor in the mission presidency for 8 months and traveled with him all over the country. It was a delight to hear him...

Dear Aunt Mona & Aunt Kate, Traci, Jamie, and family-
Thank you for all you've done for Beeky, and for making his last months and days on this earth so warm and positive. He was so blessed to live in your home, Traci, where I know he was loved. I'm so happy he's with Nana again, and can finally run again. I will never forget the words you spoke, Jamie, at dedication of his grave, and the emotion you had as you spoke of this great man. I sure did love him. Love you all- Lisa

Dear Mona, Katie, and Patrick,
I just want you to know that I am still thinking about you. I hope you know that I love you.
Love,
Daliah Flake

Beeky,
It was an honor to have you in our home this past year. Thanks for a sweet spirit that you brought. I know my children will someday appreciate the gift you gave us, and the honor we felt with you in our home. Your were a great man and I really will miss the talks we use to have. Thanks for the oppertunity to serve you in your last months.
Love Jamie

Beeky,
The word "legacy" keeps coming to my mind as I am grateful for you and the life you have lived. I love you! I also have fond memories of your home in Salt Lake City, ceramics, smiles, stories, camping trips, and just holding your hand. I feel so blessed to have personally known and been related to such a great man.

I am so happy for the wonderful family I am from and for the family roots that are grounded in good gospel soil. May I always live righteously that I may follow after my loved ones who have lived a wonderful life, like my Beeky!!
