When I Am 80....

Sister Lowery (blue backpack) & Courtenay Ward RS hiking to Nymph Falls this summer

Today I had the privilege to attend a surprise birthday party for a dear friend of mine. Sister Lowery turned 80 years young today. Ever since I married Grant I have known Sister Lowery. She was a driving force in our ward in Port Alberni and when we announced we where leaving Port for the Comox Valley we found out that Sister Lowery was too. She moved here just weeks before we did and I was so glad to know I would have another friendly face at church. Today her daughter threw a party for her and all those dear Port Alberni friends of hers.

Sister Lowery is amazing, never misses an activity or an opportunity to help. She has the stamina of a person half her age. She is quick to smile and express her gratitude, especially for her family and friends. Today it was a privilege to feel of the love and respect, all who know her, have for her. When I am eighty, I hope I can be the kind of person Sister Lowery is.
