Conner’s mission president gave him permission to write home about Simon’s passing. Here is his email.
President Clark is allowing me to respond home in correspondence to this incident. This just makes my heart ache. How is his family doing? Please give me updates on the family and let me know if I can help in any way! We are all given the same amount of time in a day but not in a lifetime! I learned a lot yesterday about using our time wisely and how important it is to use our timely wisely while on a mission and in life! Time is a blessing of God--let us not miss a moment to say I love you and treasure that time spent with those we love! I hope you all know how much I love you all!!! I hope you do as I have and rely on our Savior for help through this time of trial! I know that we have a just and loving Father in Heaven who judges us on our hearts! Simon had a good heart and I think anyone who met him will agree! I will miss him but I know I will see him again and that he is in a place where he isn't alone, lost, or depressed--he is surrounded by those who love and care about him! I encourage you all to stop focusing on how you feel but help others understand the amazing principle of the Plan of Salvation! I'm not worried because I know this true! I know we have a Savior that wants to help us and will if we turn to him through faith and prayer! I love you all! Update me please! Big hugs!!
Elder Conner Tracy
