Sister Veirs and I are so deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Elder Tinkham's grandmother. I will tell him personally this morning (Saturday). We send our condolences and will pray for your family and loved ones. Your son is an excellent missionary and we will be calling him on Monday to serve as one of our zone leaders. I would take another 100 just like him. I know you are proud of him but I just want you to know that you have every right to feel that way.
We know the Lord will bless you at this very sad and trying time.
President Ronald L. Veirs
