The hand of God at work. I got chills when I read your post last night, Smithee....If anyone has any doubt that there is a God, they need only to look around them. Finding Donald was definitely not an accident.

I received this email last night, and she has given me permission to post it to friends and family. We're all friends here and you have come to know something about my brother-in-law, so I thought I'd post it here.


to the family and friends of Donald Masters. My husband was one of the people that found Donald. He was with his two brothers on a road trip. they had been to an auction and were on their way back to Idaho Falls. They were really pressed for time and had not planned to stop on the way. However, when they saw a herd of elk they decided to pull over. All three of them felt like they needed to stop at that place. After stopping and watching the elk, they were about to leave but were felt like they just needed to look over the embankment, why? they didn't know. It was then that they found your friend. Your prayers were answered. My husband just wanted you to know this. They were not elk hunting at all. The men that found your friend are good men and believe in God and the power of prayer. We are all sorry for your lose, but glad you have closure. We will pray for your family and friends that you all will recieve the comfort you need.

We had a similar experience when we committed my folks ashes to sea. We took my boat out to midway between Catalina and LA Harbor. The sky was overcast, the seas flat. My brother brought 5 leis for each of us siblings to throw on top of the ashes. I inched the boat forward (in order to control the direction the wind comes from. Not good idea to have the ashes blow back into the boat) and my brothers released the ashes. We then threw the leis, which formed into the 5 circles you see from the Olympics, the sky opened up a ray of sunshine on top of the leis and 2 seagulls dipped down and briefly hovered (probably just checking out the leis). We were all saying "Look, Look, Look at that". All of us ended in tears.
