How do I change a deceased person to living?

I have changed [name & PID removed by mod to protect privacy] deceased to living. She is my sister in law. I communicate frequently with her by phone and mail. Instead, another person was created LFY6-LZ7. I would like to have the 2 merged to the living and correct person instead of keeping the incorrect one still showing. I have reserved the temple work on the incorrect one because I don't want it done. Is it possible to merge the two? I will be leaving soon and will check in next Wednesday.

    The process is simple: Edit the Death on the duplicate to change Deceased to Living. Give an explanation. Wait.
