I always look forward to General Conference weekend.  Aside from the many beautifully prepared and presented talks, its a time to be together with my family, a stress-free Sunday where I can sit and listen and have my cup filled.  I’ve tried to make it fun for the children by making a special breakfast, usually cinnamon rolls.  Today, as I listen to the talks and busy myself with work I can do with my hands while watching, I’m thinking of my sister-in-law Paige who lost her daughter only 6 months ago Sunday morning right before the spring General Conference.  I had made two pans of cinnamon rolls to share with the families that I expected to gather at the Smith home.  Those cinnamon rolls were never touched.  It was a defining day for Paige and her husband and their children.  And a defining day for all of the people who love them.  The moment that terrible news was delivered in shock and hurried disbelief, I think some part of each of us knew that Kraven was gone.  My thoughts are with Paige today as they celebrate their second daughter’s birthday.  It is sad that such a good thing (General Conference) also serves as a reminder that a member of the family is missing.  Paige has endured these past 6 months as an inspiration to everyone around her.  She is not defeated, nor has she let herself been given over to dispair.  She’s mourned, and hurt, and missed her daughter with the same characteristic cheerfulness and faith that she’s been known for all her life.  It is hard to believe it has only been 6 months, and at the same time its hard to believe Kraven is really gone.  I am so glad to have the opportunity to listen to these talks today.  Six months ago I asked for people’s prayers for Paige and her family and I’m asking again today.  If you could take a moment, I do think that prayer helps to comfort and lift those who need it.
