Dear Mom and Dad and old people,
You guys are great. Thanks Mom for birthing me because without you I wouldn't be here. I'm so glad I was put into your family. You guys are so great. Tyler Robinson
Dear Momma and Dad,
Words can't express how grateful I am for you and your love. You are always there for me with support. Recently I finally realized that you truly do your best to support me in all that I do, but certain things have skewed my vision and all I saw was my mistakes. I'm working on that. Thank you. Thank you for never giving up on me. I realize that I was a difficult child to raise, especially as a teenager. You did your best. You taught me a lot. Deanna Newell
I hope I can make you proud. Thanks for watching over me. Anonymous

To Future Posterity,
Believe in the Savior. Anonymous
I want you all to know that you are all loved unconditionally by the Savior and me. He died so that we might live again; but not only that we might live, but that we might live eternally in the presence of God. The Atonement opens the door to our eternal family. Through our repentance and His sacrifice we may create powerful covenants and attachments that can never be broken against our will. Be worthy, and repent, for I do not want to lose any one of you. We will live together forever, the fulfillment of eternal joy. Ryan Palmer
