Our Angel Lily

Lily Shimodoi was a lovely human being. She passed away this afternoon as I was on the way home from work.

She is pictured here (in blueon the left) with her friend Lynn Vargas (in yellow) at our recent Relief Society social. She had a brief period where she was in remission from cancer. It was so good to see her back at church. But just a few days after this picture was taken, she was put back into the hospital.

Sweet Lily! You were so quiet and gentle in your ways while here with us. We all love you and will miss you so much.

For some reason this blog has turned into a chronicle of life's passages. I'm sitting here thinking that I could use some happier news, and then it hit me that death isn't a sad thing for such a good soul as our sister Lily. So, Happy Day, Lily. Well done, thou good and faithful servant. See you soon.
