Richard Donald Parry

It was an enriching experience for me to get to know Rick well when I worked in the Church-service Missionary Program office.  I have know him for years and years, but never very well.  He was such an honorable man, wise, and a great leader.  He passed away on Friday, January 23, 2015 after fighting a blood disease for a very long time.  Like Douglas J., his brother, he felt chocolate was important, he had a great sense of humor and he was dedicated to serving others.  It is with great sadness that I think of his passing.  

New Beginnings with Paige

It was really nice going with Paige to her ward's Young Women New Beginnings tea party.

I was impressed that she was asked "spur-of-the-moment" to lead the singing.  She did so well.

Lunch with Julie

Wayne and I met Julie for lunch at Eva's Bakery, a little French bakery on Main Street in Salt Lake. It was shortly after the terrorist attack on the publishing company, Charlie Hebdo, in Paris, thus the sign:  "Je Suis Charlie".  It was delightful being with Julie.  In addition, it was such a treat for me to be in Salt Lake City again.
