Remembering Others

This is a special time in our calendar year as we consider Memorial Day, Father's Day, and soon the 4th of July. We have set aside times to pay tribute to people who have had an impact upon our lives. (Our current RS service project speaks to this as we are asking everyone to come up with magazines, CDs, DVDs etc that might be of use to our service men or women who have to stay at the Veteran's Hospital.)
BUT, we also remember the women in our Relief Society who are moving or have moved to other areas. Diana Quintero has moved back to Tyler with her husband and baby to pursue more education. She served on our Enrichment Committee, as a visiting teacher, and wrote on the blog. Nikole Vigil and her husband have moved to Colorado to be with his family. She served as a visiting teacher and they both helped on the Activities Committee. We have Shelley Whiddon, who has been part of our ward family for more than 20 years. She has been so diligent to serve in the Primary and as a visiting teacher. She is moving back to North Carolina to be with her mother and family. Barbara Doerk (15922 Windy Meadow) is having an Open House for her - THIS Saturday, June 26, 2-4PM.
I am so thankful for the many ways the women in this Relief Society remember each other. You have helped women pack to move, or watched their children etc.
Each person is important - they have an affect on our group - we notice and care when they come and when they go!
We remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
