The day after Christmas was a special one for the Smith family. As you know we are active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and part of what we hold most dear are our temples. They are near and dear to us for a variety of reasons but perhaps one reason they are even more dear to us now than ever is the opportunity we have to do work for those who have passed away without hearing or knowing about what we feel is truth. For those who have passed who still have family who survive them we are required to wait one year and have permission from their family. Ben and your parents were kind enough to allow us to share with you at last what we were not able to in life. Ben told me, "If that is something that is important to you and if it would make you feel good than I think you should." Well it is, and it did.
While the picture after just captures some of us, every one of Ben's siblings and their spouses and mom and dad were there for you. We were able to perform ordinances on your behalf. It is our belief that you can choose to accept it on the other side. It was an emotional, beautiful day for our family and hopefully for you too. We absolutely treasure you and hope you were touched by our love and devotion for you always. If you have any questions up there, find my nana. . she'll fill ya in. We love you so much.
