Mormons bid farewell to Sister Frances J. Monson, who left a 'legacy of love'

The life and legacy of Frances J. Monson — "a legacy of humility, service, faithfulness and love," according to her daughter, Ann M. Dibb — was celebrated during funeral services Thursday in the Salt Lake Tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sister Monson's husband, LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson, was seated with his family on red chairs that formed the Tabernacle's front row, just a few feet from his beloved wife's flower-bedecked casket and close to Dibb, her brothers Thomas and Clark and their respective spouses.

Church statement on its financial independence in response to Businessweek cover

The growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from a fledgling band of frontier Americans to a global faith that blesses the lives of millions is one of the great religious success stories of the 19th and 20th centuries. From the very beginning, members of the Church displayed a remarkable ability to set aside material things for spiritual goals.
