"I once was pleasant? [Is there a ?]
Ephraim when Jacob for me prayed;
But O how blessings vanish
When man from God has strayed."9 [NOTE: Add more!]
"When I last saw him, he was deathly sick. He did not complain but said that he did not know why the Lord did not let him pass away. Then he had an answer: he had never known what suffering was and this probably was part of what he ought to experience in this state of existence."10
"I called on him in Salt Lake City two days before he died, and he was pleased that we could visit."11
"He'd had a growing disposition for good, and he sought to develop good attributes all the days of his life. He seemed to be younger than I was, and when we traveled together people took me for being the elder of the two. I thought he would live longer, but he was taken down with gallstones. He died in a rest home on the west side of Salt Lake City, not far from the Jordan River and north of the Fairgrounds. During his last days, he remarked to me, ‘Brother, I haven't any plans for the future,' and so it was true. When he was placed to rest, I offered the dedicatory prayer."12
