Cory Ray Helsten

So its been almost a year ago that my little brother Cory passed away, Its been hard at times but we were able to do his temple work this last week and how blessed I feel that we will be able to see him again someday, Im not sure if I would be able to get through this if I thought we could never see him again, it was such an amazing experience for me and my family. He always had a tender heart and would do anything for anyone thats what I loved about him most.

I have been thinking about him all week...He passed away on Jakes Birthday so for me it will be a bitter sweet day. I am so happy your family got to do his temple work, what a special day that had to have been. We think of him often, and your family. Likewise what Heidi said....I just cant wait to see him, hug him and tell him how much we missed him!!
