Sweet, sweet people...Colleen and Dean Lowe

Colleen & Dean

 Today, we received a very special card in the mail.  It was from our daughter-in-law's mother, Colleen Lowe.  What a tender sentiment this was for us.  We love Colleen and Dean Lowe!



Charity, Jill, Asher, Malichi, & Josh



A couple of weeks ago, we had the opportunity to travel to the Salt Lake Valley, to witness a special temple sealing in the Mt. Timpanogos LDS Temple. A precious little boy by the name of Asher was sealed to his adoptive parents Charity and Josh.  Traveling with us to Utah was Asher's birth mother, Jill Ballard.  This past year, Jill chose to give Asher to this couple, so that her son would have the very best possible family with a mother and a father...along with a little brother (also adopted).  Since Asher's birth, Jill has gone to the temple and made sacred covenants as she continues to improve her life.  As Charity and Josh knelt at the alter of the temple, also kneeling with them was Jill, holding her biological son, Asher, as he was sealed to his adoptive parents for time and all eternity.  It was a tender, precious...beautiful moment.  Each of us there, witnessed the "tender mercies" of the Lord.  The ministering of angels was strongly felt also.  What a glorious experience.

While in Salt Lake City, we stayed with Colleen and Dean.  They invited us to stay with them and it was such an enjoyable time.  They were so gracious and giving, opening their home to us for this special weekend.  The more time that we spend with them, the more that we see why our Erin is the way she is.  How blessed we feel to have Erin in our life...along with our son, Erin's husband, Mitchell.  The added blessing is our friendship with Colleen and Dean.  Yes, these are sweet, sweet people.
