Amazing Fort Collins

When Richard, Ken, and the kids arrived home late that first night, they were welcomed home. Anticipating not only the need for privacy at that difficult time by not being present, they left a trail of warmth and love to greet the tired travelers. The house had been freshly vacuumed and there were air mattress set-up in anticipation of family needing extra beds. Fresh flowers were lovingly picked and arranged from Jennie's "garden buddy" who also provided many more for the Memorial later that weekend, as well as a hot meal prepared ahead and warming on the stove.

Neighbors were waiting to "drop" by and invite the kids swimming, and offer love and support at that crucial time. The memorial service on Saturday was especially sweet and spiritual. Members of the ward shared so much with this sweet family preparing a special video to remember her always (we are working on uploading it soon) and a wonderful meal for friends and family. The speakers were inspired and the Spirit was with us all.

When we arrived home after the service, angels had placed cards along the drive all the way up to the front door. Sweet children drew pictures and shared memories as well as kind friends sharing thoughts, memories and special moments with Jennie. It all means so much to us, we know this little family is in the right hands there in Fort Collins. Thanks is not enough, but we express it to you all sincerely.

  1. I already knew you had an amazing ward in Fort Collins, but now reading about how you were welcomed home that first night proves they are awesome and are wrapping your family in their arms and are ready to help you when needed.
