Brian and Family we are so sorry for your loss and will be with you in spirit! I would bet your dad and my mother knew each other, she was born in 1936 and also lived in Bingham Canyon… In this hard time of losing your father focus on the wonderful times you spent with him and all the wonderful lessons he has taught you, and your children that will live on! We love you so much!

Only spent a few days with Gene, as we shared experiences with making and giving away toys. His belief in making a difference in children’s lives, brought us together and formed a special relationship! Blessings and sympathy to his entire family! : )

To the Ham family, I’m very sorry for your loss. I wanted to offer you some comfort that I’ve found in the Bible. In John 11:25 Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” It’s my hope that you can draw comfort and strength from this promise that we can see the loved ones we have lost to death again. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/dead-live-again-tract/dead-live-again/
