Special Days

July 16, 1957 was a special day, when God sent a son - Terry Wayne Hebdon - to Keith and Idris Hebdon, joining four siblings who surely loved and adored him.  In a few more years a couple more children were added to the family.  Those 7 children surely brought joy to their parents and grandparents.



A new family was created in February 1980 when Terry and I (Elaine) were married.  As our family began to grow we experienced the joy and love that comes from having children.  Many years later we experienced the joy of adding spouses for our children, and then of course, the addition of grandchildren.  Each addition is special and I am grateful for the special days we have experienced and continue to experience.

Let me share a few of our most recent special days:


May 14, 2018 was a special day because we added a granddaughter to our family.
Sylvie Jane - born to Michael and Tawnee, joining three siblings that love and adore her.







June 3, 2018 was a special day because we added a grandson to our family.
Bo Terry - the first child born to, and loved and adored by, Chase and Rebekah.







June 7, 2018 was a special day because we added a grandson to our family.
Canyon Thomas - born to Thomas and Dana, joining four siblings that love and adore him.






June 30, 2018 was a special day, when we added a granddaughter to our family.
Lennon James Lynn - born to Brandon and Megan, joining one sibling that loves and adores her.






With these new births, Terry and I have 20 grandchildren = 10 grandsons and 10 granddaughters.

I can say with confidence that Terry and I find great joy in adding these special children to our family. We love and adore each and every one.  Each addition to our family is a wonderful piece of joy added to brighten the day and the eternity we will enjoy forever.

A Message of Comfort and Cheer

Elder Holland has such a wonderful way of sharing with us and inspiring us, and I am grateful for this message I came across as I was searching resources for seminary lessons.  It isn't one I'll use in seminary, but it is something I will use in my everyday personal life.  Therefore, I need to keep it close to remind me when I need it most.  (And maybe I'll take time to listen to the complete message another time, because I didn't get all of it this time.)


Christmas Comfort



"Birth is ultimately for the death"

"We have each other now and forever"  "Because of Christ"

"Temporary separation at death ... are part of the price we pay for love in this world, and for the joy of birth, and for family ties ...."

"Remember why all of this matters"

"Cannot separate Bethlehem from Gethsemane."
