today i got the sad news that my mission president's wife passed away this weekend. It was about a year ago that they found out that she had a terminal malignant brain tumor, so it was only a matter of time, really. This is a picture of myself with the Smocks at our last temple trip before they finished their mission. It was taken on 16 Jun 2005, for all of you who are wondering. Her funeral is on Wednesday, so i'll be headed off to attend that before I head home for the holidays. So this Thanksgiving, in addition to all of the other stuff i'm thankful for, i'll also be giving thanks for the opportunity to know this woman who loved the Lord with all of her heart and who also loved us as missionaries in spite of the all of the really dumb things that we did.

I am sorry to read about your loss. My mission president's wife died too, about two years after they got home. All those spiritual women must be needed badly in heaven!
Did you go to the funeral? How did it go?
