A VERY DEAR FRIEND


IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE MARGIE, BUT WISH IT COULD HAVE BEEN UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES.  MARGIE LIVES IN CANADA WITH HER HUSBAND DAVE.  THEY CAME TO SALT LAKE BECAUSE THEIR SWEET DAUGHTER MEGAN PASSED AWAY FROM CANCER AFTER A LONG BUT VERY BRAVE BATTLE.  SHE LEFT A HUSBAND AND A 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.  THE MEMORIAL SERVICE WAS LAST SUNDAY AT THE RED BUTTE GARDENS.

MARGIE AND I WERE MISSIONARY COMPANIONS IN THE CUMORAH MISSION, WHICH WAS THEN UPPER STATE  NEW YORK, THE MISSION HAS SINCE SPLIT INTO SEVERAL OTHERS.   IT WAS WITH MARGIE THAT THE FRIDAY FAMILY, THE ZOLWEG FAMILY, AND BROTHER KORAL WERE BAPTIZED.  WE WERE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH THE GOSPEL TO SUCH WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
