Hi Brother Janis, this is Alex Escobar from the Katy 2nd ward. I’m not sure if you even remember me but I knew sister Janis and Emily for most of my time in that ward. I found your website upon looking online of pictures of the Gila Valley Arizona Temple and yours popped up and I thought “hey I know that guy!”. I’m planning on getting married and I’m trying to decide on a temple and I looked though your website and this post really touched me. I hope to have this kind of love and relationship with my husband. I hope all is well. Take care

Damon,

I remember some fun times with you and Tiffany back during temple pageant. Tiffany was my friend. She was always filled with love and faith. What a kind and generous woman she was even then. This made me cry and also warmed my heart. We are blessed to know you will be with her again. God bless you and your children.

Beautifully said! Words are so inadequate for how I feel as I read this post and as I think about Tiffany! She taught us all so much, and so many of us are better for having known her and loved her and been loved by her! I am so grateful for the knowledge of eternal relationships/friendships!

What a beautiful idea to help heal your grief. I took a grief class years ago as my dad and husband were dying. The class taught us to write a letter to our deceased loved one, saying everything on our heart. Your tribute is like a love letter to your wife. It is beautiful. I get it, since I was a caretaker for the love of my life as he battled cancer for three years. I think I will put my thoughts of him and gratitude for him on paper. For me, I put my love and dedication in stone, as our headstone has my name engraved opposite his. Sealings are an eternal commitment and bond. I miss him very much.

I feel sad that I don’t get to see his facial expressions of amazement and pride as our sweet daughter grows into a beautiful young woman. He so much didn’t want to leave her since their Daddy-Daughter bond was so strong. She turned four, two months before he died. She just recently turned 13 and she struggles to remember him. It breaks my heart, but I know he watches over us.

Damon,
You don’t know me but I went to school with John and have a daughter who also had colorectal cancer . She has had surgery and that was successful but there was a spot in the lining of her stomach. They thought they had gotten all of it but it has come back or stsrted to grow after she went off kehmo for a couple of months. She has spots in her lungs that they are controlling also . I was at the funeral and was so touched to here what a wonderful person she was.
Your letter brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart to read such a touching love letter .
Thank you for sharing with us. I’m eternally grateful for the knowledge that we will see our loved ones again and if and when we go through the same thing I will handle it as well as you and John snd Susan have. Kaye Lee
P.S. Happy Birthday. I have a daughter that has her birthday today also .

Too beautiful to express how this touched me. I am so glad you shared these tender feelings with all of us. I am so grateful that death isn’t the end.

Happy Birthday, Damon! What sweet and tender thoughts you shared with us. John and I have known you since you and Tiffany first met and fell in love and we were thrilled when you became our son in law. You always did everything in your power to make Tiffany’s happy, even before she got sick and after her diagnosis you hardly left her side. You were her strength and her rock and we can’t thank you enough for taking care of our little girl like you did. You always were and always will be her knight in shining armor. We love you, Damon. Susan and John

Brought tears to my eyes Damon and made me really contemplate what is important. Glad we are friends and you had Tiffany in your life and will see her again.

Damon, you never cease to amaze me. This is a beautiful tribute to the love that you so selflessly give to Tiffany and your children. I admire the man and husband you are. Tiffany is beaming with pride and love for you too.
