The following are the words of Maren Joy Christensen as dictated from her death bed.
Official last will and testament;
My room, to Kristen Blair. I hope you find as much peace there as I have.
My entire ear ring collection, Mckann. So that not a day goes by with out a touch of color.
My ipod, the dearest Jane. All I'm going to say is that I hope it adds to your numerous music collection.
Pheobe, naturally Kristen. May she be a light to you when all other lights go out.
My head bands and scarves, to Sophie. So that you can forever uphold the sacred calling of presh.
Aileen, my ASL book. Keep the faith.
My thought book, favorite books, and scriptures, to Amber. May you use them well on your mission. Also that you never stop studying plane and precious truths. (Not that you would!)
My necklaces, favorite cute books and movies, plus my cute picture of cinderella and Prince Charming, to Lucy that you may remember that you have taught me true beauty, and love. Also you can watch movies on your divine coach.
Algernon, my horn, basically the most important object to me, I leave it to two, firstly to Aileen, so she can put all her practicing tips to good use as well as endlessly play mozart. And also to Kristen, because she understands the presences that uplifts me when I play. For Kristen so that she will know she is never alone.
Alf, to Tyler, it's time it was committed to memory :)
My pictures of the Savior;
"Be Not Afraid" to Jane, your heart and feelings are known, let him reach you.
"Learn of Me" Sophie, because you will rise up and do great works in the name of the Lord.
I don't remember the name, but it's on my desk in a green frame, to Aileen, because your knowledge is from God, and he rejoices at the desires you have to know him.
"Gethsemane" Kristen.
I bid thee all a very fond fare well.
Wow, I commend you. This is an excellent idea, and you pulled it off admirably. I'm glad I can receive your ASL book and half your horn and your picture. You know I would devote my time to learning signs. In fact I have one for you right now, but you can't see it.
ReplyDeleteI was about to rejoice that Phoebus was going to leave the household (mainly the coaches and all living organisms) in peace . . . then I realized Kristen is inheriting your room!RRRRRRRRRRR
YESSSSS. I'm so pumped for the earrings. But not for you to die.
ReplyDeleteMaren, I am more than honored that you would bestow your scriptures and favorite books upon me. I will most certainly use them on my mission, and always think of you as I teach. I can promise you that you will continue to change lives far after your death. Thanks for your example! I will never forget you, and I can't wait until we meet again! Go ye now in peace.
ReplyDeleteAnother post? Can this be? :) All I can say is thank you in advance for your headbands and scarves...it'll compensate for my sadness for your death at least. (just kidding) And why exactly are you on your deathbed?
