MY GOOD NEWS!!!

Wednesday, January 28, 2009




I am so thankful that I had a good Dad! Leo Samuel Larson. I miss him terribly. He passed away at age 58 just over 10 years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him or appreciate the things he taught me. He was a great man who was loved by all. He lived by his word. We have a video of him bearing his testimony right after he was released as Bishop in Page, Az. I will cherish this forever! I am so glad that we have it to show my children. McKenzie and Bryce are the only ones that remember him. When he passed away he was serving as Stake President of the Page Arizona Stake, he was the State Farm Agent in Page, and he was loved and admired by so many people. But he was just "Dad" to his seven children, wonderful husband to my mom and fantastic grandpa to I believe only 4 grandchildren were born at the time. Now he has 25! I have just been thinking alot about him lately and I wanted to include him in our Good News Family Blog!

I just left a long comment and I got an error message, bummer. Anyways, this is Lisa (Miller) your Page neighbor. :) I have a blog too and I'm excited to find yours! A few random thoughts: WOW, Mckenzie is gorgeous!! It looks like you have a very successful and beautiful family. I still remember every detail of your wedding reception! ;) But I did also want to comment on this post. As I casually scrolled through your blog I saw your Dad's photo and it made my heart smile. You don't know this, but I think of your dad fairly often and throughout my life I have told people that he was one of the greatest men I knew. I learned so much by just watching the way he lived. I can't believe it's been 10 years...I remember it all so clearly. He was an outstanding leader of a great family and I am blessed to have known him and you all. So happy to find you here...THAT is good news! ;)
