I served in the Chile Concepcion mission from 1982-83. Sister Willis was a kind, faithful, delightful person. At a zone conference one cold Chilean winter day, she asked my companion and me if we had enough blankets, if we had a heater, and if we were keeping warm. When we assured her that we were, she simply stated: 'It's so hard to be spiritual when you're cold!" I remember her with fondness. Our prayers are with you. Que descanse en paz.

It was a long time ago, but I enjoyed working with Amy at the Arizona Senate. We rode back and forth to work together. My prayers are with her family.
