To Holly,

I want you to know how much I look up to you(even though your my little sister). You have been such a example to me these past weeks of the kind of person I hope to be someday. I have been amazed at the strength you have shown during this incredibly hard trial that you've been given. You have strengthened my own testimony of the plan of salvation. I've always believed in it, but you seem to have such a clear understanding of God's plan. I know that Nate may not be here physically with you but he is always watching over you and your sweet kids. He was a amazing husband to you and a good dad to your kids. What a great reunion you will have with him again someday. These past weeks my love for this gospel has grown, I know that our Father in Heaven if very mindful of each of us, especially you at this time. You've also taught me how sweet and precious are time here is on earth, and nothing really matters but the relationships we have with our families. Each day really is a gift and I hope I can be better at looking at it that way. I know that you have some difficult days ahead of you, but like you said..."I will survive this". I am confident you will survive and you'll be a example to everyone around you.  I want you to know how much I love you, and I pray for you constantly. Can't wait to see you in December. Love, Teri
