He was 27 and I was 22 when we married for time and all eternity on July 26, 1977. We had nine beautiful children together before his death on October 13, 1999. I dedicate this blog to the memory of my husband, Erick W. Jones.

March 2010
Ok, so I'm behind on updating this blog .... soon, I promise, soon.
Lynne, I will always know your husband as "Elder Jones" because he and his companion Elder Parley A. Pearce taught the gospel to my family. Elder Jones baptized my dad and Elder Pearce baptized my mom (whose name is also Lynne, spelled with an "e") and me.
I'm so sorry to hear about Elder Jones! Just recently I started looking for both Elders Pearce and Jones on the internet, just to reach out and say "Thank You!" for teaching our family the gospel back in Union City, California in 1972. I was 12 when I joined the church. My parents and I are still active. They married in the temple and so did I. My parents retired from California and now live around the corner from me in Olympia, WA. I teach early morning seminary.
I just feel so blessed to have the gospel in my life, and I just wanted to say thank you to the young men (for they will always be young to me) who taught me!
With deep sympathy, love, and gratitude, Lori (Boyce) Zander
Oh my goodness, I didn't see this post until today. I've been sloppy about keeping up with journaling. Thank you very much for leaving this note. Lynne
