Last Wednesday Sept. 24, Daniels brother was out for a walk with his wife and was hit by a car. He passed away almost instantly. It has been such a wave of emotions for us over the last few days. He was only 45, and left his wife and 4 children (ages 22, 18, 16 and 11) behind. He was such a great person and Daniel was very close to him. Daniel has worked with him since he (Daniel) came home from his mission in 1999. When I think about Paul, I will always remember how happy he was. He liked to joke around and seemed to always be smiling. We will miss him but are certainly grateful for the gospel to know that we will be reunited as a family someday. My girls think that should be now. Annalin seems to think he is only sleeping and that he should wake up from his rest now. Kalissa wants Jesus to come back now so that Uncle Paul can too. Just this morning Annalins exact words were,
There are 9 boys and 2 girls in Daniel's family. The 8 brothers were all pallbearers. After most of the people left the brothers lowered Paul's casket into his grave. It was a little different, I had never seen this before but Daniel said after helping that it was comforting to be able to do it.
