LYTTON'S BROTHER PASSED AWAY

Thursday, January 23, 2014

Right after I pulled in to St George, I got a phone call from Lytton saying that his BROTHER, DAVID BASTIAN, passed away suddenly from a sudden illness. I was SO SAD for Lytton and so shocked, as were we all. Lytton was particularly close to this BROTHER. They enjoyed HUNTING, FARMING, AND SNOWMOBILING together, just to name a few. My heart just broke for him and his FAMILY. I immediately put his name and the names of his family in the temple so that they could feel some PEACE and COMFORT at this horrible time. When I got home from St George on Monday night, Mom called and said she would like to go to the FUNERAL with me in Arimo, Idaho the next morning. We drove up there and it was such a great SERVICE. It was so nice to hear the fun stories about DAVID. Lytton and each of his BROTHERS spoke and they all did a fabulous job. We stayed for the luncheon afterwards and we were so glad that we went to support Lytton and Ashley at this difficult time. I love you guys! The following pics are from the first time Ashley went SNOWMOBILING with them.
David was paralyzed from the waist down in a Bull Riding accident when he was 15 years old but it didn't stop him from enjoying all of the outdoor activities that he loved.

This is David when we were branding cows.

I am so mad I left my camera in the car back at the church instead of taking it at the gravesite where the bagpipes played Amazing Grace. But I got a few pics at the luncheon afterwards.
