Lynn "LT" Stanley Bartlett

We have had a rough week. Rough, and certainly unexpected. Eric's father, Lynn "LT", died last Saturday, quite suddenly. We had the funeral today, and I'd say it went as well as could possibly be expected. As Eric said, if you come away from a funeral having had a spiritual experience, someone did their job right.



Eric and I have been greatly comforted by the words of a friend in our ward. He reminded us that our relationships don't end or stop short because someone has died. Because of the knowledge we have been blessed with, we know that our friendships and family ties can grow and strengthen even after someone has passed. We have already felt some of that.

Eric and I are so grateful to all who have reached out to comfort us during this hard time. The visits, phone calls, flowers and cards (and babysitting offers) are so appreciated. We are blessed to have such amazing people in our life. Thank you.

For any who are interested, the obituary is here.
