Grandpa Leon

Four years ago today my Grandpa Jensen passed away. He was a remarkable man that touched the lives of many, serving in different callings in the church, dressing up as Santa Clause for children and in his job as school bus driver. I remember when he would call my mother on the phone, he would always ask to talk to me and sometimes he would impersonate different characters such as Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck, he certainly knew how to make a little kid smile. I am so grateful for the knowledge of the truth that families are forever. Families don’t cease to be after someone has passed away, they are eternal for this life and the next. Because of Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection we can all live again and see our loved ones who have died. “There is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ.” (Mosiah 16:7) As President Hinckley once said: "Of all the victories in human history, none is so great, none so universal in its effect, none so everlasting in its consequences as the victory of the crucified Lord who came forth in the Resurrection that first Easter morning." It is because of this great victory over death that we can see our loved ones again and be with them forever. 
 Families are forever!
