"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.
One of the blessings of the gospel is the knowledge that when the curtain of death signals the end of our mortal lives, life will continue on the other side of the veil. There we will be given new opportunities. Not even death can take from us the eternal blessings promised by a loving Heavenly Father." (Elder Wirthlin, "Come What May," Oct 2008)
A good man has passed, but what amazing words and service he has left behind. Elder Wirthlin exuded love and warmth, and I will miss hearing his kind words. This sad event is a good reminder that we all need to be better, work harder and love deeper.
