As many of you know, Troy's Grandfather passed away last Friday. We will all miss him very much, but are thankful that he has been united with his wife, Heavenly Father and those that passed before him.
At times like this, I am grateful for my testimony of Eternal Families, and I know that Troy and I both look forward to being with our family members again.
