I'll miss his voice the most. Watching the funeral and tributes today on BYU television was really nice. I was feeling so thankful for the gospel and the knowledge that we have that we can live with our families forever. Faith plays a huge part in my life. I realized today that when I say "faith" sometimes I really mean "I know". I think that as my faith in something grows I begin to realize that it has become more tangible than I had thought it was. My testimony of the gospel grew more today. I hope this is something I can share with my kids. So someday they will be able to say that they know their mom knew the church was true.
Justin was asking a lot of questions today about death and his perceptions of life and life after death. He said at one point while we were watching the broadcast of the funeral that "it's too bad he couldn't be at his own funeral". I told him that I believe that Heavenly Father does allow the spirits of those who have died to come back to Earth for special reasons. That he could be there observing. Travis and I had the opportunity to answer his questions about these things. I am so thankful that we have been given the scriptures and living prophets to teach us about the things of eternity. It is truly a gift.

Thanks for your thoughts! I wasn't able to catch all of the funeral (luckily BYU TV will be replaying it), but the part I did see really affected me. It's moments like these that reaffirm and increase faith. I've also had discussions with Jayce, and although he's a little young, I hope he understood a least of glimmer of my testimony of eternal life.
What a beautifully written testimony. Thank you for sharing it! I never thought about it, but yes...his voice, I will miss it so much.
