I thought about you the other day because it had been so long since I had seen you. Shari and I worked together at Cinnabon…..loved her laughter, thoughtfulness, and her honesty. You will be missed. RIP my friend till we see each other again.
My Dear Shari,
I just learned of your death from Shaun, today. I can almost not control my emotions. How I wish I had picked up the phone and called you one more time. I wish I could have heard your voice just once more. You, Ron, and your family changed my life, and helped to shape the man I have become.
I take great comfort in the knowledge that your family was sealed in the Temple of our God, and that those blessings are available to you all. I look forward with great anticipation to the day when we will embrace one another again, in the presence of Our Heavenly Father! Ron and Kids, live in such a way as to be worthy of those sacred blessings, so that they may one day be.
I love you all so much! Through our Savior, Jesus Christ, we will live again. We will see each other again, and our love can grow eternally, if we will be faithful. IT IS TRUE! God lives and loves us.
All my love,
Craig Elder Anderson
