Not my normal post, but I want to share that Family can be together forever.

This past Friday the 13th the world was turned upside down for many in France.  People of the world are coming together in many ways.  Prayer, turning Facebook profile pictures with an over lay of the French flag and flags in the State of Florida will be flown at half staff.  Like many, I too changed my photo and in prayer, pray for the lives that have been lost and their families.

Closer to home, in our Stake we lost a great man and his granddaughters on Friday, our dear friend Jimmy Hiatt. We did not to loose him to any diseases, or an accident, but at the hand of someone that was listening to Satan. We lost him in a murder/suicide.  Jimmy was dedicated to his family.  Loving father to his daughter and son and grandfather to two beautiful 5 month old twin girls which he got to take home to our Father in Heaven and play with them in the eternities. His beautiful daughter Megan is in the hospital in stable but serious condition. She needs our help and prayers.  A gofundme account has been set up to help her with medical and funeral expenses.

Jimmy was a member of our Church.  We believe that family can be together forever. 

"Just as Jesus used a child in His mortal ministry as an example for the people of the pure love they must and could have to be like Him, He has offered us the family as an example of an ideal setting in which we can learn how to love as He loves. That is because the greatest joys and the greatest sorrows we experience are in family relationships. The joys come from putting the welfare of others above our own." -Henry B. Eyring  
That is what love is.  Jimmy did just that!
