Mosiah 18:9

This has been a sad week for the Dallas 4th Ward as we mourn the death of Jeff Martin and what it means to Paula Martin and their children. They have been members of this ward for many years. Jeff fainted, broke a leg as a result, and within hours died in the emergency room of the hosptial. It was very sudden (ask Bonnie Muir to explain it!) and Paula is left with a whole new set of details. The funeral, this Saturday at 11am - Stake Center, will happen and then Paula will be alone to figure out what it all means. In Mosiah 18:9, we are told to "mourn with those that mourn and comfort those who need comforting". The immediate details of this sudden death will occupy Paula's time and emotions for the moment. BUT, the following weeks ahead are when she will need a visit, a phone call, or a kind note in the mail. Mourning someone is a process and comforting them is a process too - over time. I hope we will be there for Paula in the months ahead.
Here is her contact information:
