Families are forever...

Forever.
Eternal.
Families are together as a unit throughout all of eternity.

A long time ago, our Father In Heaven brought all of his children together in a grand council in Heaven. Here we learned of the plan our big brother, Jesus Christ, had to offer when we came to earth. We would live on Earth as families, and we would have agency, the freedom to choose for ourselves. As we choose to follow our Savior's plan, we will be reunited with our families after we leave this Earth life. We will live in the Celestial Kingdom with our parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, children and cousins. Our cousins...

Tonight one of my dear cousins is getting close to returning to Father in Heaven long before any of us planned for him to go. He will leave behind two amazing children and a very young, wonderful wife. David is the kind of cousin everyone would want to have. He is fun and inventive, but more than anything else, David is kind. He loves people. All people.

Goodnight David. Our lives are all better for having you in it. Father, please be with Christina, Joshie and Jazzie. They are the greatest blessing to David's existence. They will need your help understanding your plan.

I love you cousins...


David is the one at the top back in the red and white striped shirt. I am 16 years old here and my baby sister Tiffany is in my arms. I grew up with so many happy memories with these cousins.

I have been so blessed.
