One Great Family

Introducing Rachel who will marry my youngest son Jeff in April. Welcome to our family as you and Jeff create your own family!


It begins with a linking of generations
United as earthly family: grandparents,
Parents and in-laws, brothers and sisters,
Aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandchildren 

A new bride and groom begin anew
Their own family branch intermingling
Roots of two distinct different families
Developing their own unique leaves
Which will in turn become branches

One great earthly family intertwined, 
Conceived in love, bound by covenants
Made in holy temples, guided by God above
Standing strong throughout all eternity
