We want to thank so many of you who have sent flowers, come and visited, called, sent letters and came to the graveside service, for our sweet little David Stanley Smith. He was stillborn on Thursday, September 18th due to umbilical cord complications. We know more than ever that Jesus Christ is our Savior, that he has a plan for our family to be together forever, and that our little baby is waiting patiently for us in heaven.
"The Lord takes many away, even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, and the sorrows and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on earth; therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil, and we shall soon have them again. …
“… The only difference between the old and young dying is, one lives longer in heaven and eternal light and glory than the other, and is freed a little sooner from this miserable, wicked world. Notwithstanding all this glory, we for a moment lose sight of it, and mourn the loss, but we do not mourn as those without hope.” Joseph Smith
