Jack and I drove to Vernal one Friday. We wish our mission was a happier one. It was for the funeral of Ian Brown, son of our dear friends from Memphis, Erin, Clayton and Anya. He passed away in his sleep after a decade of decline due to San Felipe Syndrome. I was impressed with Jack wanting to come with me to support his friend, Anya. Perfect attendance is so important to him. He'd been chastising me for months about taking him out of school to go to the Ranch last spring. But for his friend, he didn't hesitate. He was so sad for Anya and cried at the funeral and remembered to pray for her the following week.
While we were there we made a quick stop at the Natural History Museum.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about Ian. We remember their family well. And it fills me with pride that Jack is such a sweety - giving up his perfect attendance to be there for Anya. He was always so sweet to her even at age 3. What a good nephew I have!
That is so tender. Love that Jack!!
We appreciated your support at the funeral, Sarah, and I didn't know what a sacrifice Jack had made to be there for Anya. It brought tears to my eyes to read your post. Thank him for coming. I am sorry Anya wasn't in better shape to say hi, but hopefully we can get them together again soon. Thank you, thank you. We love and are so thankful for you all.
