For My Dear Friend

I came home from my vacation only to find out some very sad news. Some of you know my dear friend Emily who I first met at BYU when we were roommates. She is one of my best friends who I care deeply for and this past weekend, she was informed with the devastating news that her husband had passed away. John went missing on Friday and it was on Monday that his body was discovered. You can read more information at the website set up for him http://helpfindjohn.info/



Emily and John would have celebrated their first anniversary this July. My dear Emily is 4 months pregnant right now and can use all the support she can get. A trust fund has been set up in John's name for his wife Emily and their unborn child. Some of you that know Emily have asked if there is anything you can do. If you can make any kind of contribution to this fund for Emily, it will mean so much. Emily is the type of person that will do anything for her friends and family. She is one of the most caring people I know and now it is our turn to show her the support and the love that she so deserves and needs. Details on how to contribute to the fund are also found on the website http://helpfindjohn.info/

Having such a dear friend go through something so devastating really helps put things into perspective. I am so grateful for the hope the gospel provides in situations like this and the peace it will bring to John's family and friends. He will be greatly missed by so many.
