Our Gift




This was a gift from a dear friends of our family. It was created by a local artist named Doc Christensen. We had thought of having one made for Tanner a year ago, but never got around to it. It is entitled "Armour OF God". And the symbolism Comes from D And C 27:15-18

Breastplate represents righteousness

shield represents faith
helmet represents salvation
sword represents the spirit of Christ

I still cannot comprehend the support we have received both in the previous weeks and days. While we move ahead the tears still flow easily. I have been trying to come up with words to describe my feelings of the last days but simply cannot grasp any to convey my thoughts.

Continued thanks

  2. The painting is amazing! We're so glad that we finally got to me you both, even though it was Tanner's illness that brought us together. We continue to pray for you and your family to have peace and comfort in the coming days ahead.

  5. This picture reminds me that Tanner is just like one of the stripling warriors taught by his loving mother and father. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
