We regret to inform you that after a long battle with cancer Mrs. Pack died peacefully in her sleep at her home in the early hours of Sunday morning. Her physical condition began to deteriorate rapidly on Tuesday and this continued through the end of the week.

In the weeks leading up to her death, Mrs. Pack was in the Headquarters office on a daily basis. Although she was unable to actively participate, it was of the utmost importance to her personally to support and be close to God’s Work. Struggling through intense discomfort and physical weakness, she kept the Sabbath on July 14 at Headquarters with God’s people and visiting RCG leaders from around the world. She was also present for the majority of the lectures at the Ministerial & Leadership Conference earlier this week.

Mr. Pack will be writing a more detailed letter to all the brethren just as soon as possible to add more to the picture surrounding Mrs. Pack’s successful completion of the “good fight” she continued for the 47 and a half years she was in God’s Work, beginning at age 14. There are lessons we can all take from what could be seen as a sad event, but we hope everyone will read I Thessalonians 4:13-18, giving special attention to verse 18.

Mr. Pack and his family thank all of you in advance for the prayers and support that has steadfastly continued throughout this trial. Mrs. Pack also drew continual comfort from the near endless stream of cards and letters that never stopped.
