  Married in the Idaho Falls temple by Pres William L Killpack
  
  Today the love of my life departed from this mortal life to return to our maker. I know he is having a joyous reunion with his parents and his brother, Ken, who departed just last February. He is also with his wonderful grandparents and meeting all his ancestors that have gone before him. He passed at 1:40 this afternoon, Nov. 4, 2009. He fought the cancer with great effort, but it over took his body. I will miss him more than I can express to you, but he will prepare a place for me to join him when the Lord calls my name to come home. I am sad that I have to send this news, but I knew you would want to know when this event took place.
