This post was entirely borrowed or stolen - which ever way you prefer to look at it - from my niece-in-law Heather Wells. In fact it was so perfect that we used it on mom's funeral program:
A quote from Marjorie Hinckley that reminds me of Grandma Schmutz:
“I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
Mom, Leighton, Kimber
