I helped with the Essa Ricker funeral today and Saturday I will help with Savanah and Kelsea Wesbster double funeral. Jane commented that there are at least 15 families in our Canyon Ward who have lost children. This has been an exhausting week and the only thing I can think to say is that I hope my children bury me and not the reverse.
The Ricker family all spoke at the funeral about their love for Essa and how they know they will see her again. The stake center was filled. Afterwards with the help of other wards in the Stake we served over 300 people for the luncheon with lots of food left over. I loved Elder Worthlin's talk about "Sunday Will Come" and the resurrection. It was a comfort to read. I know that our faith in the Savior and the gospel will help us get through these trials. Still I hope my children bury me and not the reverse.
