We so much enjoyed serving in the Brigham City Temple with your Father and Mother! I loved them so much and the friendship we had there. When we go back he will be missed so very much! They were both part of our Temple Family! I am so happy for the sweet reunion the two of them must be having right now:) Sincere condolences to the family.
