| Notes |
- Judith Ann and I William Ernest Gray II went to the Oakland Temple and performed the Sealing ordinance for uncle Mack and aunt Alice. The spirit was so strong tears of joy came to us and we felt the sweet peace that comes when this work is accompliched. We all are so grateful to Aunt Alice for her wonderful example of sacrifice and hard work. She taught her children to love and see the family in a remarkable way. I can hear her words and thoughts as her daughter Jeannie shares her experiences with genology. They both dedicated the bulk of their time and talents to this worthy cause. As I look back on her life I know our Heavenly Father is so proud of his special daughter. She is truely a noble spirit. When I was 9 or 10 years old Grandma Gray, my sister Carolyn, and I spent the summer with uncle Mack and Aunt Alice. It was one of those unforgetable summers. I got the opertunity to get to know uncle Mack. He was my hero. He took the time and the patience to teach me some important truths that all young boys need to learn especially at my age. They were a very special family. The love I felt from all of them runs deep and still to this day overrides this great work. It is through that love that our family is cemented and tied together. To realize that uncle Mack and aunt Alice can be together for time and throughout all eternity brings such a sweet spirit that my hear is full. Now we will go and get everyone. Alice and all the family on that side of the vail and all of us on this side, working together to bring our family back to Heavenly Father. We will do it. We have the means and we have the Savior Jesus Christ to help. From before the world was created, this was the plan of happiness. That we would come here be tryed and tested and to see if we would keep the commandments. That we would have all the nesescery ordinances and covenants in place so we could, as a family, return to our Father in Heaven and hear those wonderful words"well done thou good and faithful servent".
