We decided to come to Salt Lake for Elder Hales aka Uncle Bob's funeral. It's a quick trip, so I am being proactive with my blog and sending it out early. Undoubtedly our precious moments here will be filled with family. (At the moment, we are babysitting our grandson, Solomon, who is napping while Stuart and Corinne are at work. John is putting baby proof hooks on the all the cabinets in their new house.) After his nap, the day is planned, so I thought I'd grab these few minutes.
Most of you know of him, but for those of you who don't, I am including the following link. I hope you will watch and read it, so you can get a sense of the great man he was. Perhaps just reading about him will touch your heart in a special way, as his life did ours.
Elder Robert D. Hales
We will be back to our regular postings next week.
I am so glad you and John are able to attend the funeral. Elder Robert and Sister Mary Hales will forever hold a special place in my heart.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your mission break with family- hold those babies close and tell your children you love them one more time than you would normally. Life is so very fragile.
I love you. M
You are so right, Meri! Thank you for your kind and wise thoughts.
