saying good-bye to Britney


This summer I did one of the hardest things of my life. I said good-bye to my 28 year old best friend. Britney passed away at the end of June after another bad infection. I was able to go to the funeral. I'm glad I did. I was able to see her body and yet feel her presence and realize the truth of the gospel and the resurrection to a deeper degree than ever before. I was also asked to speak at her funeral. I was honored to be able to share my memories and my love for my dear friend. This experience of losing my young friend has truly changed me. I don't know how to describe it though. and maybe it's too personal.



I love you Britney.




This is Britney's mother and father.


and her five sisters.
