Ron

Let me introduce you to:
my good friend, Diane Higbee Roth, who I met while serving as an LDS Provo Temple Ordinance Worker.
Her hus, Ron, just recently passed away the same day as my Uncle.
"Princess Di's" fam at the gravesite.

Ron & Diane at the Portland LDS Temple Visiter Center.

My Dad says her brother is one of the best Bishops he's ever had in the McLean ward (which says a lot since we've had other great Bishops there, including
Elder Gerrit Gong, who home taught us for a number of yrs).
Her younger brother, ironically, turned up that same yr in my former Provo ward.
Coincidence?  I think not . . . esp. since finding out (thru fam history research) 
that her two ancestors, Isaac Higbee & Elisha Groves, baptized my Dad's Averett ancestors who then converted some of her Mother's.  We discovered this reading each other's DUP histories.
We've found lots of histories there submitted by relatives.
Hence, our fam history jaunt thru the state in search of gravesites.
Di's hus died of a sudden heart attack after only 5 or 6 yrs of marriage.
Her parents are now presently on a mission, serving in Croatia.
Btw, she's a great free-thrower as well as die-hard Blue fan.
