March 1, 1995 Jeff and Karla Matson married for time and all eternity in the Georgia Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jeff was 35 years old and a confirmed bachelor. Karla was divorced with three children. Jeff took on the greatest challenge of his life with love and laughter. Together they were blessed with four more children and their plans were to raise their family and grow old together. Instead Heavenly Father had a different plan. Together the family has stood together and faced the trials and tribulations life has to offer and their mission goes forward.
