On January 20th, Brett's grandma (Afton Shaw) passed away. She had been battling more than her fair share of illnesses and was relieved of that pain. Our family flew up to Cardston for the funeral. I only knew her a few short years, but we named Ellie (Elizabeth Afton Shaw) after her because of the fierceness with which she loved all her family. I have never known someone so willing to call us out of the blue to just say hello and see what we were up to. She was genuinely interested in what was going on in our lives and I love her for it. The last time the Brett spoke with her, she was still reminding us to try to be close to home at the end of this medical journey. I'm so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the knowledge that families can be together forever.
