Subject: Richard Smith's funeral
I thought I would let the family members know about Richard Smith’s funeral arrangements.We’d love to see any of you who would like to come visit with us and pay tribute to Richard. We hope the weather is good but hope you don't risk anything to travel if the weather is bad.

We will have a viewing Wednesday night from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Sundberg Mortuary, 495 South State Street in Orem and then have the funeral at the Lindon 1st Ward at 1 p.m. Thursday (viewing for an hour before hand).

Richard will be buried in the Lindon Cemetery and there will be a luncheon afterwards back at the church for family members.

It might be hard to find the church so I'm going to give you directions here.

The Lindon 1st Ward is at 65 East 600 North in Lindon. You can go to the signal light in Lindon on State Street at 400 North.Turn East one block to Locust Ave. Turn north for three streets (going past the GreenValley Condos where I live). To 600 North. Then turn East up 600 north for a ways until you come to the new church on the south side of the street.

The Lindon Cemetary is just a block further east on the corner of 600 north and 200 East in Lindon.

Love to All - we do think you are all special.

I was out of town, in Orlando, Florida, when the funeral was held. I would have loved to attend but I didn't know in time. That comes from not checking our email. We were at Disney World with our youngest daughter, Kirsten Waite, her husband, Jared, and their two girls. I guess you met them all at the funeral for your grandson-in-law. It was their treat to us and we did have a good time. However, I would have loved to have attended the funeral to show my love and respect for Richard and Donnette.

From Donnette Smith

Thanks so much for your warm words. I am so glad we got to know you better through the email this last couple of years. It has been wonderful to get to know more about our relatives. Thanks for putting my name in the temple. Richard was so miserable and in pain the last year or so and wanted to go so much. I feel really good that he finally was released from all his misery. Yet I do miss him. Aren't we blessed to know the Plan of Salvation. I don't know what people would do if they didn't have that knowledge.

Love, Donnette

To Donnette on the Passing of Richard

 I was out of town, in Orlando, Florida, when the funeral for your husband (Richard Smith) was held. I would have loved to attend but I didn't know in time. That comes from not checking our email.

We were at Disney World with our youngest daughter, Kirsten Waite, her  husband, Jared, and their two girls. I guess you met them all at the funeral for Gordon's grandson-in-law. 

The trip to Orlando was their treat to us and we did have a good time. However, I would have loved to have attended the funeral to show my love and respect for Richard and you.

You are very wonderful people and I am proud to call you family. The geneology work you have done will assure a warm welcome for Richard on the other side, I am sure. 

May I offer my love and comfort. We have been praying for you and did put your names on the Manti Temple Prayer Roll before we left for Orlando.

Love, Myrna
