Previously I wrote about life's changes. Sometimes we have time to get ready for the change and other times we are socked in the gut by change! Read my previous two posts and then read this conclusion...
As our family was driving to Utah to attend my Grandmother's funeral we received a phone call from Nate's dad. His youngest sister Beth, the baby of the family, had been at a swimming hole along the Snake River called Henry's Fork with her fiance Lance Jensen and there had been a terrible accident and he drowned. That news was a sock to the gut that I don't think anyone can explain...Nathan went to Preston the next day to support Beth and his family.
We met Lance once. He stayed at our house over Easter, with Nate's family. We did not spend a lot of time with him but enough to know he was a good young man with a bright future and he would love and take care of Beth.
After attending his funeral, the day after my Grandmother's, I realized what an accomplished young man he was. I know he had finished the things God needed him to do here on earth and God needed him more with Him.
I can't even imagine how totally devastating this is for Beth...but I do know she is a strong, beautiful, young women and our Heavenly Father will be there to see her through this time in her life and always.
I have posted their engagement photo along with this post.
If you read this Beth...Nate and I love you and pray for you. Our kids adore you and ask about you and how you are doing. Hang in there....rely on our Savior!
