Johanna was my great great grandmother, her name actually being Johanna Tippett Chinchen Porter.

My wife and I were in the Columbus, OH temple Saturday and were told of a sister who had been sealed to her husband and parents earlier that day. She used a walker and couldn’t kneel – since she was 105.

It can be hard from a distance to find the stories of Saints away from the main body of the church, since so many of our records focus on the missionaries rather than the local Saints. We need members all over the church to scour the older members for memories, and to record their own current stories. Meanwhile, I’m always on the lookout for such stories in the materials I read.

Wished there had been even more of it.
