Sister Eyring’s life cause for ‘celestial celebration,’ President Nelson says in funeral tribute
From Tad Walch of the Deseret News:
"Most of Sister Kathleen Johnson Eyring’s 65 grandchildren and great-grandchildren sang 'I’m Trying to Be Like Jesus' on Saturday during her funeral, a moment a son called a reflection of everything that she loved and invested in.
"The themes of eternal life and eternal families dominated the hourlong tribute to Sister Eyring, the wife of President Henry B. Eyring, second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She died Sunday, Oct. 15, at age 82.
"President Russell M. Nelson, president of the church, who is recovering from a back injury, did not attend the funeral, but shared a tribute about Sister Eyring during a First Presidency meeting this week and asked his first counselor, President Dallin H. Oaks, to read it while President Oaks presided over the funeral."
