We have had several family members and friends leave for various reasons ranging from questions of testimony or preferred lifestyle or Church doctrine, etc. One relative was very vocal when another family member decided to attend another "generic" church, but we maintained our relationship through our common testimony and belief in Jesus Christ, though not necessarily agreeing on details of doctrine. We try to "love, share, and invite" while respecting our friends and family who are not of our faith, so why wouldn't we do the same with those who have departed? Of course, we may be sad or disappointed, but continued love and example will prevail in the long run.
