Not the Best Month

After all the fun birthday posts, we had a tough month. Andy's brother Ron died suddenly of a heart attack. He had lived for the past 25+ years in a town called Regina, in New Mexico. 100 miles from everywhere. So our contact with him had been minimal. It is not a good idea to let relationships stagnate, especially family ones. We made a quick trip to Utah for the Memorial Dinner. It was good to reconect with family members. Then one week later our niece Sarah's and Jareds youngest child Oliver died. He was only 6 months old. He was scheduled to have heart surgery this week. He looked good at the memorial service for Ron, but contracted Influenza and it was to much for his little heart. Our love goes out to Ron's family, and Oliver's family. Once again I am grateful for the Plan of Salvation, and for covenants made in the Temple.
