Kristy's Washington Memorial

Kristy's memorial was held in the Puyallup Stake center where her parents' ward meets. It was packed! People who had moved from the area that we hadn't seen in years came. Kristy's life touched many and there were old and young and in between in attendance. Most of us cried during Honor's song ("He'll Carry You") and she was accompanied by Kristy's mom, Ann. Donnell Allan gave a very nice eulogy and quoted many comments from this blog. Gloria Jacobsen spoke on the plan of salvation, it so comforting to know that in the eternities we will all be together again. The final speaker was our Stake President, Larry Steveson, who also gave us words of hope. The closing hymn was "Be Still My Soul". I think the last verse of this hymn says it all: "Be still, my soul: The hour is hastn'ing on when we shall be forever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past, all safe and blessed WE SHALL MEET AT LAST." We love you Kristy and we will never forget you. Nathan's Mom
