My friend Aimee past away yesterday. She had a long and painful journey dealing with Cystic Fibrosis. I have never met someone who knew Aimee who didn’t have kind words to say about her. She was always happy, rarely negative. She put up with a lot, for her heart was big. Now, she is out of pain. She has left this world for a far better place. The Prophet Joseph Smith said “The expectation of seeing my friends in the morning of the resurrection cheers my soul”, to which I agree. We may mourn for the company of our dear friend Aimee, which we should, but let the thought of seeing her again cheer our soul. Remember the words of Alma to his son “Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life.” (Alma 40:11). Aimee has been taken home to the God that gave her life. Let us honor the memory of Aimee in our thoughts words, actions, and deeds.

Thank you, Mike. That was very nice, and Aimee would like it.
She truly was such a dear and wonderful friend! While I find myself missing her greatly, I have such peace in knowing where she is and that she is no longer suffering.
