Marie Osmond Instagram – M. Russell Ballard, a great man and leader in my church, died last night. I was blessed to know him throughout my life. When I heard him speak at last month’s General Conference, because of age, it felt like he was saying goodbye. His final words in that talk went to my heart and I won’t soon forget them, “I leave you my witness and testimony that I know that Jesus is the Christ. He is our Savior, our Redeemer. He is our best friend.” ❤️ Thank you Elder Ballard for your years of service. RIP
