Janeil died on March 13, 2020, but because of Covid-19 and bad weather, we had to wait until July to properly bury her. On this day, we gathered as family at the Henefer Cemetery, Henefer, Utah.Lori had purchased an urn for her ashes and Marc made a very beautiful red oak box that is the vault for the urn.
Mom planned the ceremony with Dawain saying the opening prayer. Lori gave the eulogy and did a very good job. She included reference to all the family and told of Janeil's strengths and beliefs. Theron, Curt, Marc, and Todd sang "In The Garden" and it was great. Marc, Curt and Theron put the urn in the box and Kelsey's husband and Ashley's boyfriend lowered them into the grave. Todd gave the dedicatory prayer which contained much comfort.
Dad had just gotten out of the hospital; he lasted about 15 minutes and had to sit in the car. He said his shingles were burning in the hot sun. It was a very wonderful family support to have Jimmy and Elizabeth and Carolyn there for mom.
There was hope there, but not a firm commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so thankful for my testimony of the resurrection, restoration of all things, and Christ's atonement that extends mercy to all.
Janeil, rest in peace. In many ways, you are more safe than any of us. You are now with our ancestors and have been restored to a more perfect body.
