"Rosalind Sighting"

April 12

Bev (Sister Luke) and I were dining at Café Georg on Friday, April 9^th with another senior couple, the Reeds from Boise.  I happened to catch a glimpse out of my eye to my left of what I thought was a Rosalind look-alike, walking into the restaurant.  I did a double take, and the lady was instantly gone, passed on by.  I wasn’t expecting such a look-a-like and didn’t try to get a clearer view until I realized how unusual such a moment was.  I do remember that the look-a-like was just about Rosalind’s most recent age.  This was not a full, clearly distinguishable view, just a quick impression view.  And I just passed it off as kind of fluky.

But I kind of liked this quick kind of a reminder experience as it made me think of her, now as it’s clear we are close to the one year mark since we celebrated her funeral on Saturday, May 2^nd, 2009.  I checked the internet sites and couldn’t find her date of parting.  Can anyone please update me with the date.  I left all my family history stuff at home.  I was also disappointed that her music site is apparently down and not available, can anyone explain this?

I do miss her but believe that she is fully involved with family activities in the world of the spirits, along with Mom and all the others who have passed on and she probably looks in on us more often than we might expect.  I fully believe that she could have paid Bev and I a visit at Georg, a French restaurant, a place that she would like. We found the food there to probably be the best in Cebu.  So that might have brought her there.  J  We ate at a branch of this Café in the Ayala Mall tonight.  But I will just leave this little story just as I have told it without further speculation or embellishment.

My hat goes off to this truly great woman that I deeply love.  I’m deeply grateful that I’m blessed to be on her team as a brother forever.  These sentiments equally apply to my/our awesome Mother.  We will all join them some day, for some of us, that time may not be that far off.

Loved General Conference.  We watched it over this recent weekend as time zones are different such that it was recorded, then rebroadcast one week later.  It was still a sweet moment with moving sermons and music.  We, Bev and I, are so deeply grateful for our church and the profound hope in the resurrection and the eternal extension of our family ties.  We are so deeply grateful for the family ties we have with each of you and send along our love and prayers.
