a really great woman from our ward Rachel Collins passed away Sunday evening... she had been batteling stage 4 melanoma for about 18 months when last week she had to be taken to the ER because it was believed she might have had a stroke.. no one expected her to "go" so soon.. her funeral was today... this girl had an extrodinary life growing up in Utah a non member.. she felt some resentment towards the church because she hadn't been treated the way she should have.. she felt like an outsider her whole growing up.. her mother in law joined the church shortly after she came to live with Rachel and her Husband but Rachel was still too bitter to even hear anything about the church.. when the whole family moved to New Hampshire almost 2 1/2 years ago Rachel started attending church so her daughter would at least learn of God and Jesus, slowly Rachel began to heal her hard feelings and she took the lessons and joined the church almost a year ago.. she is younger than i am by a tad bit and so it makes me wonder why and how unfair life can be she leaves 2 young daughters (ages 15 and 7) but i do know for sure that she is in a better place laughing and dancing and free from pain... it will take me a bit to wrap my mind around this but i will.. more lessons to learn i guess..
ta ta for now
