(Hyrum Smith monument)I am going to go back there again soon and spend a whole day there walking around. There are so many big people of our faith burried there and I want to see them all. It is the most amazing feeling to find one of them and stand right where their bodies lay. Absolutely AMAZING!


It's important to remember that the Richard's by any means were not "big" or "wealthy" but very committed to living the truthfulness of the gospel! As many other really great people on this earth and buried there. But yes, the Richard's name is a great heritage to be proud of. Your ancestors did lots to bring for the the gospel for us. This is why none of you girls have middle names so you can keep the Richard's with you as you are married. The ancestors represented the Richard's name well!
