Blue Monday~
We got the sad news about 7:30 last nite. I know we all thought and hoped our beloved Pres. Hinckley would be here forever, yet we all knew that that could not be. About a week ago I happened to think of him in a sad way--wondered just how much longer we would have him with us. He set Larry apart as a sealer in the Tahiti temple in Nov. 1984. At that time he was the 3rd (special) counselor in the presidency. Pres. Kimball was ill (or maybe it was one of the other counselers). He was such a GREAT example, teacher, friend, model of a great and righteous man. He loved the Lord and the Lord loved him and prepared him for his lifetime work. He has certainly won and earned his Great Heavenly reward and his seat on the right side of our Lord and Savior! I keep thinking of how happy Sr. Hinckley and his parents and he are. Bless them all! We have been fairly well this last week. Dad is fine. If it hadn't been for these scars and area of the shingles, I could have had a pretty good week. But they still burn and have sharp pains and we do NOT know what to put on them to help it. It is SO frustrating! Guess we are not smart enough! I will get my chemo on Wed. am instead of today (Mon.). We had a funeral in our ward today so I got it postponed. We love each and everyone of you so please carry on with your GOOD works and know that Heavenly Father loves you too! Grandma,Mom

It was a very sad moment indeed to hear of President Hinckley's passing. David first told me and I thought he was joking, but I know you don't joke about something like that so I knew it had to be true. A wave of sadness fell over me but at the same time I was very happy for him. I'm sure he is so happy and overjoyed to be where he is now, and I'm sure it is such a relief to him as well. Glad to hear that you and Grandpa are doing well, sorry to hear the shingles are still bothering you. Has the doctor suggested anything for that? Or because of the chemo are you not able to take any kind of medication? Love you!!
Though we are so happy for President Hinckley to get to return to his beloved companion, we are SO very sad at our loss. He's been so centering to us for so long...how will we get along without him? I've felt sad every day. We'll miss him so...
