"When our delightful, worthy, 21-year-old daughter, Georgia,
was hospitalized in critical condition following a bike accident, our family
said, “It will all work out.” As I flew immediately from our mission in Brazil
to Indianapolis to be with her, I clung to our family motto. However, our
lovely daughter passed into the spirit world just hours before my plane landed.
Following Georgia’s mortal death, our feelings were raw, we struggled, and
still today we have moments of great sorrow, but we hold to the understanding
that no one ever really dies. Despite our anguish when Georgia’s physical body
stopped functioning, we had faith that she went right on living as a spirit,
and we believe we will live with her eternally if we adhere to our temple
covenants. Faith in our Redeemer and His Resurrection, faith in His priesthood
power, and faith in eternal sealings let us state our motto with conviction." - Neill F. Marriott
