Park Avenue!

I just got back from my week in Pennsylvania with Liz. She is doing pretty well and we managed to have a lot of fun and laughed often as the wall plaque says. I will write about going to the temple in Manhattan, seeing Grand Central Station, and other fun stuff which were all firsts for me. But you will have to wait until after Thanksgiving since I'm scrambling to get ready for that holiday. We'll be at Emily's. Hope you all have a terrific holiday, too!!!!! Sure wish this country wasn't so big so we could all be together much more often. Well, maybe in the next life.

Incredible Sadness

This morning I was awakened to learn that the husband of one of my best friends died last night in a motorcycle accident. Mark Forsyth was on his way home from a church meeting probably in conjunction with his calling as Branch President of the singles ward in their Pennsylvania Stake. He was a great father and a terrific husband. It is hard to believe that this was his time to go (their youngest, Ian, is only 16) but I have faith, as I'm sure Liz does, that it is all in the Lord's hands. Things will always work out when we live by faith. Our hearts go out to Liz and all her family at this very sad time. Thankfully they were married in the temple (not positive it was Oakland) and their family is sealed together for all eternity. Liz is very close to the Spirit and I know that she will feel the Savior's arms around her, giving her strength during the trying times ahead.
