Remembering Kerrie


Jake and I took the kids to visit to his grandparents grave today for Memorial Day. None of my grandparents or brother, Isaac, graves are in Utah to visit, but the one grave I really wanted to visit was my friend Kerrie Thompson. She was a very close and dear friend of mine that passed away. That was a really hard time in my life...to lose such a close friend. I just wanted to take a little time to remember my dear friend.


She was my first friend in the ward. And to top it off, she was my neighbor. So it didn't take long before we were the best of friends. We would sit outside while our kids played and just talk for hours. Or we would have our girls night out and get some yummy dessert and just talk. If you remember Kerrie, she never ran out of things to say. That is one thing we had in common. WE CAN BOTH TALK! She was a special friend that I will never forget.


As much as I miss Kerrie, I am so grateful for the time that I spent with her and for her wonderful friendship. I miss you Kerrie!

Whenever I think of Kerrie, her smile always comes to mind. She always had such a sweet smile. I miss her too but know she is doing good on the other side of the veil.
