A sad day- Funeral for Doris Black Pehrson

Tuesday- 10 April 2018

Doris Black Pehrson died April 4, 2018 from Cancer.   She probably only lived a month or so because she didn't want to do anything about it.  She didn't want anyone to come and see her and so Sister Livingston sent her flowers from the Monticello Temple Prisidency which was very thoughtful for her.   Doris was Sister Livingston's visiting teacher and Sister Livingston wanted to go see her many times but she did Doris's wishes.  That couple are so in turn with the Lord and them that they even look alike in their picture.   President Clarence Pehrson had served in the Monticello Temple Presidency for 3 years a few years back.  He was a Sealer on Tuesdays and everyone loved him so much.   President Harris and I were working the Temple that morning so we knew we would miss the funeral but here came President and sister Yarbrough running into the temple and said you go get changed and you can make it to the grave side.  They are so thoughtful all the time so we went to the grave side and it was beautiful.  They had Brother Reid Chapman sing a solo, "In the Garden" boy! he has a beautiful voice.  President Tom Livingston dedicated the grave (home teacher and friend).
I'm sure the funeral was wonderful.  After we went up to President Clarence Pehrson and he was so happy to see us there and we felt his special spirit and comforted us.  When his wife found out she had a fast growing cancer he asked to be released as a sealer because he needed to be by his wife all  the time.  I hope later on he will come back to his friends at the temple.  Truly they are a perfect couple.  We love them so much and will miss them both!!!
