Jeani, my step-mother, passed peacefully this morning near 6:30 EST. Although expected and long in coming with her cancer, her passing marks a sad point. She touched so many lives and taught so many people lessons that can only be shared through knowing another and watching how they live. It is also a happy time, as Jeani is now in the next part of this eternal progression - she is reunited with her own mother and together they have work to do. We know, through sacred priesthood power, that she will be a great missionary in the work that needs to be done on the other side of the veil.
Though she leaves behind much family, the truth of eternal families (and knowing she was sealed to hers) is a great source of strength. It is the light of hope and truth which makes such passing bareable.
Jeani, your great love, sacrifice and friendship to so many will never be forgotten. Your memory will serve as a reminder of what we are working towards. May peace find its way into all our hearts until we meet you on the other side.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I am glad that she is no longer in pain. Sending hugs!
