I think it's great you posted Misty's obituary. Her funeral was tough but her family and Joy's dad did an amazing job. They really paid a great tribute and celebrated who she was; an incredible person.
Hey! It was so nice to see you! We wish that it was under different circumstances, though. Misty was a wonderful person. Now we can keep tabs on each other!
Thanks for posting this! By the way, I love your dedication to service at the bottom of your blog :)
Thank you all for your love and prayers.
I just wanted to thank you all for showing your support and thinking about our family during this difficult time.
Know that the girls and I are truly being comforted as we better understand the gospel and better understand how Misty lived her life. As I have reflected back on her life over the past few years, though they have been challenging for her/us, she has drawn closer and closer to the Lord. I can honestly say that she had been spiritually prepared for this time and there is no doubt in my mind where she is. She has qualified herself for every blessing and promise available to her.
For those of you who were not aware, Misty had struggled with manic depression and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder about 5 years ago. We had quite a few scares through the years and have overcome many obstacles. It eventually claimed her life. There was nothing that sparked it and I don't think anyone could have done anything else, it was just time.
Similar in many ways to cancer, there is no cure and it can be life threatening. With cancer doctors can often times see the illness growing and can maybe better estimate the damage and expected time. On the other hand, mental illnesses are not so black and white and cannot be gauged. We had to live life day to day and continually reexamine our life to see what needed to be done. Misty had excellent doctors, friends, and family who helped her live as long as she did. Maybe even longer than was expected.
Know that we had an amazing life together. We traveled to many places and saw many beautiful things. We were given many opportunities of faith that led us closer not only to each other but to our Savior. We also started a wonderful family which Misty truly sacrificed much for.
Thank you again. Don't be strangers and don't feel awkward in calling and emailing me. Visit our website and see what we're up to (www.scivally.com).
