Joe Livingston

Dear Sister Livingston and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. President Livingston inspired me in so many ways. Serving as a missionary in the EMM was such a life changing experience. I have great memories of visiting your home in England for zone meetings and I would jump on the trampoline with the younger children. I think I may have taught a few of you how to do a back flip. I love Sister Livingston with all my heart. May our Heavenly Father bless you during this time and always. Love Elder Jon Braithwaite

My Uncle Joe was always supportive of my parents and our family. As a child he was fun and playful.
After my high school junior year he and Joanne, an ever-smiling angel, invited me into their home for the summer. I did a barely passable job of helping keep up his RE properties, but they wholeheartedly included me into their Christ-centered home.
We got along splendidly. I enjoyed teasing, babysitting, and playing with the children. My passion was science. They liked my simple science insights and after dark constellation star tour. They were all easy to love and I love them all still.
Joe prepared me for my first single date...shower, brush your teeth, look sharp, etc. I was later surprised to see them parked just behind me at the drive-in theater.
Scouting was big in Cody and I was encouraged to serve as a youth leader and canoeing merit badge counselor (in a freezing cold arm of Yellowstone lake).
Joe and Joanne tried to civilize me. They have always been generous and loving. I feel forever in their debt.
I am confident God will comfort Joanne until they are re-united.
Thank you Livingstons!
