OUR FRIEND ADAM

On Wednesday, Mom, being a close friend to the Marshalls and Sister Marshall's visiting teacher received one of the first calls that 13 year old Adam passed away early that morning.. Mom ran right over... while Dad sub-taught seminary... and she helped the family all morning and got the bishop over and helped in the this very difficult and tragic time for the Marshalls. He died of causes incident to his cerebral palsy.
The service was lovely and very touching at the Monrovia chapel on Saturday morning. Mom ran over from the Women's Conference to play the organ and read the beautiful eulogy that Adam's dad had written. Dad Cornwall had the honor of the being the speaker and talked on the wonderful 13 'volumes' that made up Adam's special life and what is beyond the 'bookends' of birth & death. The chapel was full with many friends, a lot of whom were from Sister Marshall's work at Huntington Hospital. The new R.S. Pres. - Brenda Carlson and her crew put on a very nice luncheon for after the interment at Rose Hills.

  2. It was a great service and both Sue and Kent did a wonderful job. I know that Karla especially is very blessed to know such wonderful people in the ward. She wouldn't have been able to pull it all together without the help of such a wonderful visiting teacher! I strive to be more like Sue.
