My sister-in-law, mother to my four living nieces and nephews and one nephew who died tragically of an accident in his childhood years, and who, after the death of my brother (in a preceding accident), went on to become the mother of another sizable brood of children, Mormons all who were brought up well, Merilyn Stanfield Urry, passed on at 1:04 PM on Thursday August 22. My eldest nephew emailed me the news. My response to him:
"Thanks for this info, (name). My condolences to all. Unfortunately, I will not be able to go there for the funeral, as I no longer have the financial flexibility that I used to. Please pay my last respects for me to the family. She was the matriarch of a lovely family, of which she could be justifiably proud.
"And sorry to hear of your own financial 'dire straits'. All the best in riding it through.
"And let's hope for the same for this nation, going through its own 'dire straits,' as well.
"Uncle Duane"

1) I made reference to the nation because my nephew had added in his email info about a Tea Party group that he is involved in. He is quite the patriot.
2) I was reminded of a ‘family’ story. Merilyn told me, when I was visiting them on a Family outing a few years ago - both families together, as they do every other summer (this was the only one that I took part in, then or since; another story) - that she remembered once (this was many years before, when my brother was still engaged in creating a family while he worked to get a career in the movie business off the ground) when my brother came home from a Priesthood meeting one early evening and chuckled to her how he had a directly opposite perspective from the one that their group was told that they should have, where the ‘official’ version of priorities for Priesthood members was Family first, Church second, and Job third. I didn’t comment at the time on the remark and story. I wish now that I had. I have to trust that she understood his perspective.
It was based on the fact that he had a dream to make a film about the Book of Mormon; and in order to get to such a position, he concentrated on raising money for various film properties and ideas.(1) His whole outlook on life, then, was colored by the desire and need to make films (Job) in order to get to his dream of making a film about the Book of Mormon (Church). And as he told me once, when I was living with them (another story as well), he didn’t want to make a huge amount of money, that that wasn’t his priority; just enough for his family to be comfortable (Family).
As I say: I have, now, to trust that my sister-in-law understood.
Communications in families being so important.
Which reminds me of just one additional point, at this point. About the American Family.
To get into that subject, a comment about how David Axelrod - a ‘Red diaper baby’’ - has been quoted as saying that Pres. Trump’s replacement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg - on her own death bed - “will tear this country apart”. How has this country come to this pass? with the president having the opportunity to name another conservative/constitutionalist to the SCOTUS?? and with the 2020 elections looking more iffy by the day for the Democrars, with their too-far-out Democrat candidates failing to make much of a headway into the hearts of the American public??? and Trump slowly making headway in closing down the southern border to all of those prospective Democrat voters???? And major voting & electoral reform on the horizon, complete with photo ID requirements, and elimination of all-too-easily-programmed electronic voting machines, and…and……
It could all augur a signal for a Der Tag uprising by the Marxists. Who are in a fight to the death with conservatives (read: non-socialists) and Christians (read: non-atheists at worst, and non-Satanists at best).(2) And have succeeded in seducing a huge number of our youth in their campaign, having taken over the education systems in the country (part of “the long march through the institutions”), and having subjected them to huge debt to pay off college fees, at a time that many jobs have been quietly shifted overseas; to give the youth an incentive to Rise Up Against The Machine! and all…
My closing comment to this whole subject:
Unbeknownst to the Marxists, and the Innocents inveigled into their control (’Sons of The Revolution - Unite!’), there is a larger picture at work here. Wherein and whereby they are ‘naturally’ feeling that there is a major shift at work, in how the world works. But it is not the dystopian New World Order that they are being led to believe in. It is the working-out of
The Plan.
To the Synthesis stage of the operation of human civilizational development.
Where the ‘best of both sides’ of the equation are brought together. In the development of a Community of nations operating in conjunction with and under
the Will of our Creator Source.
At long last.
With feasting for the return of
the Prodigal Son.
And paying our last respects to all that it took to bring us to this point.
In time. And
in time.

(2) You don’t really think that all this business of raping and killing babies in rituals is just the work of atheists, do you??
These people are deliberately flouting God. If the story about the ‘fallen angels’ isn’t true, it sure must be close to the mark.
