No Empty Chairs by Janice Cap Perry and Senator Orin Hatch

I am so proud of YOU.... I am so proud of your parents.

I want them to always remember that they did not pick you.... YOU PICKED THEM!

They have a great responsibility each and every day to be an example of all that is good... to help you return to your Heavenly Father.

That is a big job... and it happens minute by minute, day by day. They can't let their guard down. They show you kindness and love, and that is how it should be. Some day they will stand before our Savior and He will ask them to give a report on the kind of parent they were to you. Your mom has taught you so much! I was sitting by your mom when you were baptized. When you came up out of the water, someone said: "Well, it's done!" And she wisely said: "And it's just the beginning." I was the tear in her eye. I was so proud of your dad, that he could baptize and confirm you. I saw how proud he was to stand beside you dressed in white. I heard his love for you as he confirmed you. I have many tears of joy on this sweet day.


What a blessing we are to one another. Uncle Gabe talked about how you are an example to the Probert Cousins, as you are the oldest. Uncle Nate talked about how Jesus set the example when He was baptized. Jaycee, Kelcey and Aubri sang "I am a Child of God." Grandpa Todd talked about a time when he was little and he listened to the Holy Ghost. There was lots of family and a lot of love in the room. Uncle Rodney and Aunt Annie said the prayers. Lynette and Grandma Todd did the music. The witnesses were Grandpa Probert and Grandpa Todd.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY!
