Families Can Be Together Forever

This weekend was full of Daniel's side of the family. Daniel's Aunt Wendy died December 18th in her sleep, so this weekend we took a quick trip to Idaho Falls to go to her funeral. It was such a lovely day. Well kinda. I don't like funerals, and I honestly didn't really know her all that well, but at the funeral, I got to know her so much better. She was a wonderful person and when she was born she had health problems from her birth and the doctors told the nurses to give her minimal care. He didn't think she would make it a day. The fact she made it 50 years tells me she is a fighter and that is awesome. I know that I will see her again because I know that families can be together forever because of the temple. Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the best thing ever. I love it so much. Bye Aunt Wendy, I wish I could have gotten to know you more when you were alive! But, I know I will see you again. I love you 

I don't think you can see this really well, but it's the program. It was a lovely funeral. 

Before the Funeral was over the bishop of her ward read a poem that I loved. 

My first Christmas in Heaven 

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below 

with tiny light, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear 

For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. 

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear. 

But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas Choir up here. 

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring. 

For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing. 

I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart. 

But I am not so far away, We really aren't apart. 

So be happy for me, dear ones, You know I hold you dear. 

And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above. 

I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious more than pure gold. 

It was always more important in the stories Jesus told. 

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do. 

For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you. 

So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear, 

Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
