They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on March 21, 1 956. Robert and Lura had eight beautiful children, three boys and five gi rls. They were married for fifty-four years when Robert, the love of he r life, passed away.
Lura was a very giving and loving wife and mother. She always walked at d addy’s side and never complained. Her greatest joy in life was her childr en and always caring for them.
