From President McDonald:
Sister Shelly Barton [Anaheim Mission 1996-1997] passed away October 15, 2004 from complications associated with cancer [Myasthenia Gravis]. Shelly will be remembered by all who served with her for her cheerful disposition, her love of others, and her testimony and love of the Lord. During a relatively short time in mortality, she accomplished many things and had a far reaching influence for good.
Shelly Ann Barton was born 28 September 1975 in Ontario, Malheur, Oregon. Her parents are A. Lynn Barton and Georganna Kay Wynn Barton. Shelly was raised on a farm near Ontario, Oregon and is the third of five children (three brothers, Chad, Alan and Tyler and one sister, Jenny).
Shelly graduated from Ontario High School in 1993 and entered BYU the same year. She attended BYU for three years and then served a mission in Anaheim, California for eighteen months. After returning from her mission she completed the requirements for a bachelor’s degree in speech pathology.
Shelly was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis a short time after completing her mission. She had surgery to remove her thymus gland, only to find it was malignant. Chemotherapy stabilized her condition, but two years later it returned. Shelly has seen miracles in her life through the power of the Priesthood and much fasting and prayer.
In the spring of 2002, Shelly moved to the Portland, Oregon area where she
obtained a job and planned to work part-time on a master’s degree in speech pathology. However, the cancer returned again and required additional radiation treatments. Although Shelly always tried to appear healthy and active, her health and strength slowly declined. However, she was never one to complain about her problems and remained stalwart and faithful.
During the past few months, she became gravely ill with a respiratory problem, was in and out of the hospital several times, and on 15 October 2004 she passed away after being in intensive care for about two weeks.
Those who know Shelly remember her as being without guile, happy, loving family and friends, a hard worker, organized, kind, and thoughtful. Shelly had the ability to find a silver lining in the most difficult circumstances. She loved her Savior and studied his teachings every day. Shelly has set an example and legacy of love which edified all who knew her.
Those who would like to share special memories of Shelly can send them to Shelly’s parents at 811 Northwest Park Blvd, Ontario, Oregon, 97914 or to President McDonald (James_McDonald@BYU.edu) and he will compile and forward them.

For those of you that served with Sister Barton, Predident McDonald wanted all who knew and served with her to know that she passed away last Friday, Oct. 15 . Shelly (Sister Barton) had been battling cancer for the past few years. I know she had many friends in the mission that loved her. She was always so sweet and fun and a fantastic missionary. Funeral Services will be held on Friday, Oct. 22 in Ontario, OR.

I'm also wondering if anyone has any pictures or information about the reunion.
I was looking at the photo of the mission reunion 85. I think it must be summer 84.

I just wanted to let all returned missionaries that served in the Fullerton 6th ward (Spanish) know that George Salgado went to the mtc today. He will be serving in the Quito, Ecuador mission. He was so excited today as I picked him up at the airport and then took him to the mtc. He is so excited to share the gospel with the people of Ecuador. I hope that everyone is doing well. Cuidate

Will President Chambers or missionaries from 1990-1993 be having any kind of Reunion this year? Just wondering. We had one just after I go home, but I haven't heard of another since.

Dear Returned Missionaries from the California Anaheim Mission:
A missionary reunion for all California Anaheim missionaries serving from July 1999 to July 2002 (Rasmussen Group) will be held Friday, October 1, 2004 at the Brighton 2nd Ward Chapel. The address is 2561 E. Bengal Blvd. (7800 South and 2561 East) Salt Lake City, Utah. The time will be 7:00 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. We have not met in this building before. It is called "the middle building" among the Stake people because it sits between two other chapels on Bengal Blvd. and it is white in color.
Please bring your special “goodie” to share with us.
We sincerely hope all of you can attend.
Regretfully, we report the passing of Elder Spencer Whipple who died of a serious blood disease and the untimely passing of Sister Kirsten Esmiol (Spanish speaking) from an automobile accident in Nevada. She was on her way to visit people she taught in the Anaheim Mission. We send our love and condolences to their families.
We look forward to seeing each of you and catching up on “the latest happenings” in your lives.
Please pass this information along as we do not have addresses for everyone.
We love you and care about you and look forward to seeing all of you.
Love,
The Rasmussens

Is anyone aware of a reunion with President Rassmussen? I did not serve under him, but since President Moffitt is still out in the field, I would most likely know a few people that served under President Rassmussen. I hope to see those of you I served with :)

This is to all the RM's and SRM'd that served with President and Sisiter Van Alfen.
I have the opportunity to be in Utah in October 2005 and felt that it would be a fantastic chance to see folk from my mission. I was over at Christmas 98 and spent time with the Van Alfen's and found it to be just wonderful. So what I need to know is who could be in Utah for conferance weekend and would be interested in getting together for a reunion.
It will be almost 20 years since I hit the mission....it will be fantastic to see how we all turned out.
Let me know by Email.

Just to let the RM's and SRM's that served in 84/85 know that (Elder) Gary Magee from England died on Tuesday 2nd June 2004. I didn't serve with him as I hit the mission in November 85 after he left but he is from my stake here in England. His funeral will be held on Friday 11th June 2004. I will attend and think of the Mission and all the good things that he did there.

I am thrilled to hear of your mission call, especially to the California Anaheim Mission. I served there from 1986-1988. You are going to meet some very wonderful people. Members of the Church there are very helpful. My experiences were great. They did more for me than I ever did for them. You will thoroughly fall in love with the area and the people. I served English speaking but knew several of the Spanish speaking Elders/Sisters. God speed on your mission.
