My Dad Passed away suddenly last Sunday





Yes - it was Father's Day of all days!
I am not sure I am ready to tell the whole story yet (more for the sake of time), but soon I think I will. Here is a small synopsis:

Here is a link to look on KSL.com and then I will write all the sad , and joyful details - because there are some!
I just have to thank you all for your many many thoughts and prayers at this rough time! We have never felt such an outpouring of love from our neighbors and friends!
His funeral will be Monday down in Fayette and then he'll be buried at Camp Williams and then we'll come to West Jordan for a Dinner.
I hate to ask anyone for donations at all - but people are asking all the time what they can do to help out. The biggest help would be any donations to the "Arthur Eves Memorial Fund" at any Wells Fargo Bank. My Mom is really stressed about how we'll pay for it all. I can't believe how much a funeral costs!! We have been going non stop ever since Dad went missing.
Well - I'll explain more later!

Ryan and Sally,
We were so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. With the sudden loss of Rick's sister last March, we know how many emotions and feelings come with events like this. We also know that you will eventually look back and recognize the many tender mercies that the Lord provided for you during this difficult time. We love you and we are praying for you.
Lisa and Rick
