I was fortunate to attend a funeral service for a boy in our previous ward yesterday. He was 16.
The bishop in his remarks gave some interesting counsel. He suggested that we pray for the dead. He went on to say that when we pray for the dead, we are strengthening the links in our family. He also declared that hope is infinite. That even the ones who have passed have hope. They too have hopes for what will happen for them and for us still. When we were in UT for Christmas, mom had a death in her ward, and she mentioned that when the wife of the man who had passed received a blessing, in it was the prayer that "Don" would not be scared or confused about where he was. I thought that was interesting.
I hope everyone can find the peace they so desire.
I am grateful for the restoration.
Happy Valentines Day.
