Passing

We had some sad news today.  Aunt Judy passed away.  Pops came and told me and got a little emotional.  It is never easy to lose someone and yet with the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation as a foundation we find solace in knowing they have gone to a better place.  I was working on my door wall when pops came and shared with me the news.  As I continued on working I thought about Aunt Judy and I thought about that passing.  I thought about things that Grandma Vi experienced when she was at that point in her life and how the veil was thin.  I thought about the sweet reunion that was taking place as Aunt Judy passed and was reunited with her mom and dad.  It was a sweet moment, a peaceful moment, a moment of joy for me as I thought about that meeting.  It is hard not to be a little emotional about it.  My heart is filled with gratitude for the blessings of the Temple and the sealing power that binds us together as families.  I am grateful for the Spirit testifying of the truthfulness of these things to me today while I sat and pondered Aunt Judy passing.  Indeed there is sadness in these moments and also peace and comfort from the Holy Ghost.  I am grateful for that companionship.  I am grateful for Aunt Judy and for the wonderful woman that she is.
