May 13, 2008, my sister, Karen Deschamps, died in a car accident in Kirtland, Ohio where she and her husband, Randy, were serving a mission for our church. My son, Tom, and I flew to Kirtland the next day to be with my neices, nephew, and brother-in-law, Randy.
Randy was in critical condition, and spent almost 2 months in the hospital in Cleveland, OH. We all came home to Utah for her viewing in St. George, and then a viewing & funeral in Orem, Utah. After the funeral, mom and I went back for 2 weeks to Kirtland to be with Karen & Randy's children, grandchildren, and Randy. Randy was released from the hospital in Cleveland and flew home on July 10 with his family. He will be living with his daughter, Denise, and her family for awhile. Their other daughter, Marie and her family live just a block away, so this will be a wonderful situation for him. The past 2 months have been so sad, and yet we have all experienced wonderful blessings. Once again, we are so grateful for the gospel and our knowledge of eternal families.
