This Blog might me a tad boring to you, it has no pictures, but I had to put down some thoughts none the less.
I was invited to a "celebration of life" for a sweet sister in our old ward, the LeGrand ward. She is dying of terminal cancer and I wanted to make the effort to give her my love and come visit. I was very lucky to see half of my old ward there, and catch up and say my hello's, and of course, give Freddy my love. She looked beautiful as ever So much that I had to tell her she was lying, and that she wasn't sick she just wanted a party.
It was so good to see everyone. So many people that touched mine and Shawn's lives when we first got back to Salt Lake. We had so many that loved and cared for us. We had amazing callings. I felt so needed and appreciated, and it was because of the sweet members in that ward. I love all of you so much, I think of you often, I miss you each time I think of that little block in Sugarhouse, and I thank you for loving me and my small, yet crazy family. I pray you have peace in your hearts during your tough times.
Freddy Dunkly, your Father in Heaven loves you very much and is so proud of all you've done. You know this is true from the countless folks that came to celebrate your life with you this evening. The room was packed wall to wall with people. I can only hope I touch as many people's lives and pray that my room is full.
Love Denielle

I had no idea she was sick, or that there was a celebration, or I would have been there. She's such a wonderful woman. All I can do is offer my prayers for her.
