Dad had planned to go to church and share his testimony and gratitude to the members for all their support and love and for the luncheon. Dad said Saturday night was his worst yet. Sunday morning he was dreading going alone when Eddie showed up. They went together. It was a great experience. The Bishop was gone but had written a note to be read expressing his thanks for the many who helped put on the luncheon. Then he added a personal note about Mom and expressed some thoughts of her. From there, most who got up spoke about Mom. The Bishop counselor added his comments. The young man who has been bringing Mom the Sacrament each Sunday got up and spoke about the privilege of coming to see her weekly and the feelings and Spirit he felt with her. Dad said about 80% of the meeting was about Mom.

Later, some of the family ended up at Dad's. We watched the video once again but this time he paused it explaining some of the pictures or the stories behind them. There was a lot of inspiration that went into the making of it. We are so grateful to have it. Well, we are grateful Dad has it and we are holding out for a copy of our own. Dad said over and over, "This is a good day!"
