Wednesday, Nov. 7th, Mike's mom, Penny Cherry, passed away from complications to heart failure. As Mike's sister, Kristi, said, "We're happy when we think of her, but we're sad when we think of us." The pain of separation is hard, but we are glad she has been righteous and there is no question about her salvation. She touched more people than most people I've met. Hundreds of people came to her funeral and many told the family it was the best service that they had been to. I'm sure a lot of it is because they all had so much love for such a wonderful person. And then another big part of it is because of the doctrine that was taught. There were many powerful messages shared.

I'm so sorry Natalie, let me know if there is anything I can do for you guys. Beautiful picture, I can really feel your love for her.
I was so sorry to hear about Mike's Mom. Your Dad interviewed me last Sunday for my temple recommend and told me. I was able to meet her a couple of times for your bridal shower and wedding reception and she was a very sweet and kind lady. Our thoughts are with you guys.
Ryan and I want to send our love and prayers for you and your family.
I am so sorry and hope Mike is handling everything OK. She sounds like a beautiful and remarkable lady. I am so grateful for the knowledge the gospel gives us about eternal lives and families.
