Remembering JR

At the beginning of a new year I am reminded of all the blessings that I have been given. I am acutely aware of how precious life is. This past week the world lost a good man, JR Price. At a young age of 23 he lost a battle against Pneumonia and ARDS. While this news is tragic and VERY heartbreaking for everyone that knew him, I know that he was a lot bigger than any of us ever realized. Heavenly Father has called him home. JR is in the presence of our Heavenly Father- where we all strive to make it someday. Heavenly Father loves him so much that JR has fulfilled his earthly mission in just 23 years and is now serving amongst his presence.

The gaping hole that he leaves in so many lives will never be filled. He touched the lives of many with his kind heart and accepting attitude towards all. As the youngest of 5 siblings, his family mourns the loss of their baby brother and son. I cannot imagine what that would feel like to loose a child.

Being a member of this church brings such an overwhelming amount of comfort, especially at this tragic time. Because of the Atonement and the love that Heavenly Father has for us, we know that JR is happy. And he was greated by his grammy and other family members that were patiently waiting for him to come home.

Our thoughts are with the Prices, I hope you can feel our prayers and Love all the way from California. We love you.

Until we meet again JR...
