One too young
A good friend of mine passed away last thursday. His name was Jamie Patel and I've known him since junior high. We were both in band and marching band together all junior high and high school. Later we met up again at church which was a shock to me because I didn't know he had joined the church and he didn't know that I had either, little did we know that we had been baptised within months of each other. Then we served our missions within weeks of each other, we were even in the MTC together. Then he got married the week before I did. My heart was broken when I heard he died, he was too young and had so much going for him. My goes out for his wife, I don't know what I would do without Josh. I've prayed for peace and comfort and of course Heavenly Father blessed me and although I don't understand it but I do feel like it was Jamie's time to go. I'm sure he's working hard and cracking everyone up with his humor. It's us down here that are hurting. I know I will see him again and I'm so glad for the knowledge I have of the Plan of Salvation and the comfort I get in knowing that Heavenly Father has made it possible for families to be together forever. God Bless Jamie's family, especially his sweet wife and I'll see you later Jamie!!!!
