I didnt know that. Thank you for passing it along. I loved Neal A Maxwell, and its a happy day for him that he gets to go to a place without pain. -Sherrie

I heard about Elder Maxwell's death at our Ward Conference yesterday. He was such a wonderful speaker and will be missed at conference this fall. Finally the suffering is over and what a great reward awaits him. Aren't we blessed to have these kind of men to lead us?

This is a great loss to us in the church. His funeral is on the 27th and I don't think that it is going to be televised on BYUTV...But I am sure that he is safely in the arms of our Heavenly Father. He will be missed. Donna
