Ray & Lillian Rasband Sealing

On Saturday, November 24, 2012, we attended an endowment session and sealing session in the Jordan River Temple with our extended Rasband family for the sealings of Aunt Lillian and Uncle Ray Rasband and Aunt Lillian and her sister Marie to their parents.

Those participating were:

Aunt Geneve Rasband Buys Bain Gubler and her children:

            Marlene and Jerry Pulsipher, daughter Becky and Richard Boekweg from California, and grandson Adam who did baptisms for the dead.

            Joe and Saundra Buys

            Ronda and Bruce Lee from Colorado

Cousin:  Clyde and Cheryl Rasband

Kathryn Ann and John Rogers

Karen and Richard Keetch  

 Karen and Richard, Clyde and Cheryl, John and Kathryn Ann attended the endowment session at noon and participated together in the prayer circle. Then we went to a sealing room for the 2:00 PM sealings of Aunt Lillian and Uncle Ray Rasband, her parents, and Lillian and her sister Marie to their parents.  Brother Kinikini was the officiator. Everyone in the room was dressed in white.  Aunt Geneve Buys was there in a wheelchair and was proxy for Aunt Lillian.  Ronda was proxy for Marie.  Karen and Richard and John and Kathryn Ann took turns being proxy for Lillian’s parents.  Bruce and Joe were the witnesses.  Marlene and Jerry, who made all the arrangements, made sure that everything was done correctly.  Others who could not be there had helped with other ordinance work previously.  It was a tender, memorable experience to be together and complete the work for Uncle Ray and Aunt Lillian Rasband.
