Psalms 22:19 "But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me."
Alma 7:11 "And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind;
and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people."
My Savior Jesus Christ suffered my pains and my sorrows. Because of that I know that I am never alone.
D&C 101:14 "And all they who have mourned shall be comforted."
D&C 101:16 "Therefore let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God."
Revelations 21: 3-4 "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
I look forward to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
"Grief cannot be compared, measured, or quantified. Healing does not mean a quick cure; healing is putting the loss in perspective." Dennis Ashton, "Jesus Wept: Understanding and Enduring Loss
"I don't know all the reasons the Lord tries us in this life, but there are two or three that come to mind. First, I think He wants to know whom he can trust.
"Secondly, the Lord tells us in the Doctrine and Covenants section 122 that adversity came to Joseph Smith to give him experience.
"Thirdly, I believe that only through such experiences can a person develop true charity. And I mean by charity the pure love of Christ." Loren C. Dunn, Ensign, May 1974, p. 28

Hey Sar,
I was thinking of you yesterday.
We love you, Sarah.
Mom and Dad
That was the blackest white man that I ever knew!! I am sad that I we weren't able to hang out again. I know that he is doing the lords work. There isn't any answers for what happened, but we know through the gospel that he is busy, and doing something he loves.
Sarah, I love you, and look up to you in every way.
Especially your testimony, that is stronger than ever through all of this. I know that you are one of the Lord's elect that will help bring much good.
Sarah,
Thank-you for the quotes and scriptures. They are wonderful! I am so glad to know that I need not fear what happens after this life. I am so very grateful for our loving Father in Heaven and his son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ knows pain far greater than the deepest pains I have felt and he still can be of good cheer. What a blessing it is to know we are eternal beings sent here to experience things that will make us better, stronger and closer to them. Thank-you Heavenly Father for that knowledge!
We love you, Sarah, and I know Tyler loves you. I also know you are loved by many more souls than you can now remember!!!
Love, Annaka
