A Tribute

  A little under two months ago, Sister Rosemary Mackay was diagnosed with breast cancer.  She was serving with her husband, Tom, as genealogy missionaries here in Papeete.  They returned home to Utah as soon as they could, in hopes to get proper treatment.  It soon became apparent that her time here was limited, and she was failing fast.  Thursday morning, she passed away.
  
One of the last things she did before she died was memorize and record "The Living Christ" for all of her grandchildren.  She knew exactly what the important things in life were.  Her great faith never faltered during these hard times.  She was a true example of service and love for others.  We feel extremely blessed to have gotten to know her for the short time our paths crosses.  She will always be remembered.  We love you Sister Mackay.

Wow. Hard to believe that all happened so fast. My fondest memories of her, was her time in Primary when I was little. She is such a sweet woman, and she will be missed.
