Summary

My dear friend Greg and Krista Evans join to talk about their wonderful son Luke (https://www.hamptongentry.com/obituary/luke-evans). They talk about his brutal journey with his emotional health, how everyone fought to keep him alive, and how his mental illness led to his passing. Greg and Krista are PROUD of Luke as he bravely fought his illness and share more about the accomplished young man. Krista blogs about Luke at https://evansdailygriefing.blogspot.com/. I encourage everyone to read her powerful blogs. Thank you Greg and Krista for being on the podcast (and Luke as we felt your presence) and the courage to share your story as it helps all of us. You two are brave and courageous and have wonderful insights that are helping others. ** Please check out my new Book** Deseret Book: www.deseretbook.com/p/listen-learn-and-love-embracing-lgbtq-latter-day-saints Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/1462135773
