Lance Funk Passes Away

 We didn't even know Lance.  We never met him.  He was married to Sharley.  We did know Sharley.  She was a youth in our ward when we lived in Washington many years ago. Her parents were and still are good friends.  Though we have both moved away from that ward, we have served in the temple together and so continue to see them often.

We became aware that Lance was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease.  Sharley is an amazing woman who began sharing their journey on Instagram.  I followed her religiously.  I was SO touched by her faithful love for him.  She is a wonderful writer and I was often in tears as I would read and also watch her video posts.  

We were able to attend the viewing and funeral.  

I have encouraged Sharley to write a book.  I know she has 100,000 followers on Instagram.  She has touched so many lives and could touch so many more.  We continue to pray for her and her family as they adjust to life without Lance.
