I was asked this question by a distant second aunt while standing in line at a viewing of late Grandfather.
Presumptuous much? I replied with “no, never” and left it at that
I took it as a wildly inappropriate question and venue to be asking such a question. My wife is not LDS nor a Christian for that matter. It bothered me, not the question but the venue at which she made such rude and uncalled for advance but I ended up feeling good about my non sugar coated response. NO! She quickly moved on down the line.
The great thing is we were all there to honor the life of a great man who did great things in life and left us all better off by knowing him. He was married to my Grandmother for 68 years and raised beautiful family all without ever going to the temple. I shutter at the thought of their “temple work” being done for them now that they have passed on.
One of my greatest memory of my Grandpa will from our wedding day. The only grandchild out of 10 that he was able to see married. Tears flowed freely down his face. Much different than the waiting room at the temple.
