Letter: Billboard hailing late LDS leader's life is inspiring

“I Believe Most People Are Good” is the latest song by country singer Luke Bryan. Recently as I have been driving on the I-15 highway, I have observed the billboard honoring the life of LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson. My first thought in seeing this tribute to his life was one of awe. I felt genuinely inspired to live in the state of Utah. I grew up on the east coast, in Westford, Mass., 35 miles west of Boston. My family moved here in 2001 and made Utah our home. I’m not a current LDS member myself, however; I am a church member of Holladay United Church of Christ.
