Elder Donnie and Martha Whitson and family,
So sorry to hear about the passing of your mother but we are glad to know that she was adopted into the family of God. We are confident of this one thing, that He who began a good work in her, completed the task, now she's just waiting on the gatherering of all of her brothers and sisters in the air. What a glorious time that will be!

In the mean while,we ask the God of all comfort to keep your hearts and minds in perfect peace as only He can do, during this time and season in your lives.
God bless you and your family.
