Thank You


Today our hearts are full of gratitude. Family, friends, and strangers have blessed our family in numerous ways at this sorrowful time of the passing of our son. We thank all of you.

We know Brigham is grateful to each one of you and for seeing past his physical and mental challenges particularly later in life as he degenerated and recognizing his true identity and mighty soul. May all of us recognize who we really are - sons and daughters of God, our Eternal Father.


Many of you have requested a copy of Brigham's memorial service and other elements surrounding his service. We have decided to post it here on this blog. Audio will follow: Music and other remarks. Our heartfelt thanks for your kind words, notes, and other gifts so generously and graciously given; and mostly for the gift of your presence physically or in spirit at Brigham’s funeral service. We were overwhelmed at how many came to pay tribute to Brigham. Though we did not connect with many of you, we feel a great love for each of you for taking time out of your lives to bless us with your goodness.


Over the weekend of May 16th we sent out the following email to many dear friends:

"Yesterday, our family’s greatest earthly shepherd, example, and son and brother
left the sacred body he fought with and in. Brigham left our physical presence Friday at 3:40 pm. Julie and I have no words to communicate our feelings about him and longing to be with him. We love you and all you have done for us and Brigham for many years and invite you to a Funeral Service that will be held Saturday the 23rd of May at 2:00pm. A viewing will be held prior to the Funeral from 11am to 2pm. The building has a bell tower and is across the street from the Provo Temple."
