A celebration of Life: On Feb. 7th we learned of the passing of our dear friend Pat Nielsen. Her funeral was Saturday the 14th. Her life has been an example of love, service, cheerfulness and a deep abiding faith and rejoicing in our Savior. We will miss our dear friend but we know that she will be busy serving the Lord on the other side and that her family will have a joyful reunion with her in the future.
Just one note from a member of our ward who attended her funeral. "A number of her former missionary companions were there including Bruce Hafen of the Seventy and Elder Keith McMullin of the presiding bishopric. Also, a sister who had served with her on the Primary general board. "
As we read this comment, we thought of the eternal blessings of serving a mission. All those years ago those young men and women she served with (including herself) have lived lives of faithfulness and have had the opportunity to bless the church world wide through their service in the Quorums of the Seventy and General Boards of the Church. How great this work of our Heavenly Father and what a privilege it is to serve.
