Our Guardian Angel

I have had many mixed emotions as the month of April has approached. Most of all I feel disbelief that it has been three years since Jeff's death. I have listened to the funeral services several times in the last couple of days and it has brought me much peace as well as sadness. It hurts to know how much he is missing, yet I know that he watches over us and knows how we are doing. (Elisha, why do you think you haven't had the baby yet? He is being instructed by his grandfather who sure knows how to talk!) He is excited about Savannah getting ready to be baptized, has been praying for Skyla, gets a kick out of Jake having HIS car and is proud of Jess graduating. He loves ALL of his children, their spouses and I agree with him that we have the CUTEST GRANDKIDS EVER!!! I like to think that the Lord allows Jeff to be a Guardian Angel to watch over his family here on earth. I can imagine that he is sooooo proud of all of you and the fact that you are living the gospel, loving your families and carrying on with life to the best of your abilities. I am so proud of each and every one of you too! Thank you for the love and support you have given me. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful family and I am truly blessed!

And occasionally dear old Dad looks down and causes lightning to strike upon those 20 year olds who think you are a hott mama--without knowing that you are LITERALLY a hott MAMA. :)

Janice your strength is amazing, and I'm so glad that I was able to get to know you in Marriage & Family. You're such a sweetheart and I know that everyone who comes in contact with you is touched by your positive personality. I miss getting to see you a few times a week!
