Mrs. Colby Neville!!!!




Jane Anne became Mrs. Colby Neville on Aug. 15, at the Draper Temple. Despite the dark and stormy beginning to the day, the weather began to clear just as we pulled into the Draper Temple parking lot. It was so fun for me to be the "Mother of the Bride" this time! Always before, I had to go to the temple waiting room alone, while Bob went with our sons when they were to be married. The brides' room was gorgeous and the workers twinkling with delight at helping these brides get ready for their sealing ceremonies. They raise kindness and helpfulness to a new level! After Janie was ready, we went into the sealing room which was so beautiful! It is a large spacious room seating around 80. The whole wall across from where the engaged couple sits is done in a white stained glass. It was so wonderful to look out across the room and see all of our loved ones---even Grandma Jackson came, missing her sister's funeral! What a pay back day for Bob and me to look out and see all of Janie's older brothers and spouses sitting in the temple with us. Elder Craig Christensen performed the sealing---he was our next door neighbor when Janie was growing up. She was good friends with his son, Ben. The ceremony was short with him focusing on the ordinance to be performed and it was perfect. Just as he was talking, the sun must have burst forth from the storm clouds and the whole room lit up with light. It was awesome! It was such a happy, happy time!
