Our Bishop has been through a lot. about 3 or 4 months ago, his wife died of leukemia. She was such an amazing woman. She was friendly, loved life and living, and made life so fun. She was such a great woman. She was also a wonderful grandma, and she loved the children of our ward. At one time, she was the primary music leader, and she made the children just love music, and the gospel.
I feel so bad for our bishop and the rest of his family (he has 4 or 5 grown children with children of their own). It seems like lately he is like Job of the Old Testament, or like the pioneers on the plains who lost several loved ones while crossing. He also didn't come to church today because he has the flu. Wow, if the death of your wife an son are not enough. He has a close relationship with the Saviour, and I am sure that is helping him.
He is such a great bishop. He truly loves and cares about our ward. He is in tune with the Holy Ghost. He is well to do, yet very humble and wise. I feel so blessed to have him as our bishop. We pray for him daily.

Wow, I can't believe he died. he had spina bifida. I met him a few times and remembered because a close friend of mine has a son with the same thing. Wow, I really feel bad for his family. But now the shackles of his illness are gone. He is finally free.
During his short life, he touched a lot of lives. He will be sorely missed. But imagine the sweet reunion with his mother.
