April 18 is the day to celebrate my dad's birth. 84 years!!! So, Happy Birthday, Dad. I have to say, he is a very healthy man for 84-years-old. I hope we are celebrating birthdays with him for several more years to come.
April 18 this year was the wedding date for a young friend Stuart Campbell. I got to help him and his bride, Bonnie, celebrate by attending an open house for them in the afternoon. May they have continued and increasing joy and happiness - for time and eternity.
Finally, today was the day a very dear friend, Karin Vandenberg, passed away. This was totally a tragedy and freak accident. I am still in shock. She was hiking with her son, Cole, and two friends and their teenage son. Somehow she slipped and slid/fell 1000 feet to her death. The two teenage boys, trying to help her also slid, were very badly injured and airlifted to Primary Children's Medical Center. She was a very young 49 years old, athlete extraordinaire, and awesome wife, mom, daughter, friend. I am blessed to call her my friend. She will be missed!!!

My thoughts are with Steve and their children, Cole (and for a full and quick recovery) and Jack, and her parents and extended family.
(I will try that again.) So sorry about your friend. I will be thinking about you this week. Events like this makes me more thankful that we have the Atonement. Good luck on the garden. I hope to enjoy seeing it grow throughout the summer.
