A Nation's Loss
June 10, 2007
Dear friends,
The nation of Malawi has been in mourning the last couple of weeks because the wife of our President has passed away. She died of cancer on May 28 and there have been services in each of the three regions for her. Yesterday, she was buried on the farm they own in the southern region. It has been a difficult time for our President, since they were married for many years and she was a real helpmate for him in running the country. She has a foundation which helped many of our women and children, so she will be greatly missed.
Also, there have been several funerals in our family the last few weeks. Sometimes we are so surrounded by death and funerals that it makes it difficult to fully focus on life. Loving the children and bringing hope into their world helps to overcome the losses and gap that is felt.
Thank you for helping us to help them.
Love,
Rosemary and Moffat
