See you soon, Hector.

Our brother-in-law, Hector, lost his short battle with cancer on Wednesday, February 25th. He is survived by his astoundingly faithful family: wife Cory, sons Quintin and Anders, and daughter Sophie. Eric said that Cory presented a beautiful eulogy of Hector and that everyone is doing well, despite the heavy sadness that accompanies the passing of a loved one. I can't help but think of what Neal A. Maxwell said about death -- that it is not an exclamation point, merely a comma. Nevertheless, dying is a new, individual experience. What experiences will Hector be having now?

How fortunate we are to know that our families will be united again and that we can live with one another for eternity, sharing the blessings that can only come from a loving Heavenly Father. Our prayers are constantly with the Grillone family. We love you! Love you! Love you!
