Undoubtedly as she left her mortal life and crossed the veil to the other side, many who have reaped the benefits of her interest in genealogy greeted Lu Ann James Jones.
In her life Lu Ann gained the spirit of Elijah at an early age and devoted her adult life to seeking out her kindred dead.
Some twenty-five years ago, she was doing research on the Dedrickson line and was impressed to investigate the records of her great-grandmother Mary Jacobsen. She discovered her name was not really Mary, but Maren. This information was verified in a vision, where Maren appeared to her.
In January of this year, Lu Ann realized that her days upon this earth were numbered. She expressed concern that she must diligently work to complete some research that she felt vital to the salvation of her descendants.
As Colleen Hess, who spoke at her funeral on July 13th, stated that her noble ancestors was dear to her heart. Just two weeks prior to her passing Lu Ann expressed a great concern to find the names of her Welsh line of the James Family. Colleen said it took a special pass to get into her room where the genealogy records were kept. Because Lu Ann’s body was so frail, Colleen went down to the room and brought up her box of records.
The two labored for many hours searching through the many pieces of papers. As they neared the bottom of the box, they found what they were looking for. Because Lu Ann had a keen and sharp mind, she was able to prepare five names for the temple. She was so excited about this discovery that Duane had to avail himself with the postage stamp, as it must be mailed immediately.
