strength

It is a sad thing indeed when someone too young is taken away. But if it weren't for my knowledge of the plan of salvation, I would be even more distraught.

Last night at around three a.m., my friend Parker Allred passed away. He was a missionary, a sweetheart and an enthusiastic friend. He was always so polite to everyone and genuinely loving. 

His strength kept him going for sixteen years and it was enough to get him through. 

Pray for his family to have as much strength as he did. I know he would appreciate it if his family was happy at this time instead of regretting or second-guessing.
