“Brigham Young’s words concerning his own death and burial are worth noting. After giving instructions concerning where he should be buried, he said, ‘There let my earthly house or tabernacle rest in peace, and have a good sleep, until the morning of the first resurrection; no crying or mourning with anyone as I have done my work faithfully and in good faith.’ (cited in Preston Nibley, Brigham Young: The Man and His Work, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1936, p. 537.)

“As we reflect on those who have gone before us, and as we consider our present labors for the good of ourselves and others, would that we all might say each day, ‘I am doing my work faithfully and in good faith.'”
