It's been a difficult few days for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, after the death of President Russell M. Nelson on Saturday, followed by the tragic loss of life after a man attacked churchgoers on Sunday in Michigan, leaving four people and the shooter dead.
Former Utah Sen. Mitt Romney had a cousin who attended church in the Grand Blanc chapel where the attack occurred. He told the Deseret News he called her Sunday when he saw what happened, but said she told him she attends church in a nearby chapel now because the geographic boundaries of her congregation recently changed.
She did know many of the people who were there, Romney said, as he expressed shock over the attack. The Romney family has deep roots in Michigan, where Mitt Romney's father, George Romney, was governor from 1969 to 1973.
