She will be missed dearly.


This past week we lost a dear friend. Tauna Blackburn died of complications due to diabetes. She was such an amazing friend. We first started hanging out after we moved into the ward. We also had so much fun at the cabin and going out to dinner. Anytime there was trip planned either she or Chad called to invite us. We were privileged enough to be one of the first ones to know that two amazing spirits were about to enter into her and Chad's life. Her parents are wonderful an treated my kids like grandchildren until the year that their family was blessed with a bunch of grandchildren of their own. Tauna and I got to serve in many callings together. We were team teachers in Sunbeams and then again we were teaming together in Activity days. I will miss her so much. She was so talented and every time we talked there seemed to be a new talent that I found out she had. She leave behind the most adorable little boy and girl and a wonderful husband. All of this has been hard on my kids and it has been a real teaching tool on the plan of salvation and on eternal life. Time is to precious and short. Live life everyday and to the fullest.

So sorry about your friend. Her husband is actually childhood friends with my brother in law from Payson. What a tragedy. Makes you want to hug you family a little closer.
