Joseph Stuart said of Joseph F. Smith, “Despite the loss of his father, uncles, grandfather, mother, siblings, wives, and children, he never stepped away from his optimism that he would meet them again on the other side of the veil. . . . Through his faith in Jesus Christ, and also through the vicissitudes he had faced in losing so many friends and family, he was uniquely prepared to receive this vision of the redemption of the dead.
