Spencer was a former missionary serving under the mission president and wife, Ed and Chieko Okazaki. He has many fond memories of this and also got to see quite a few old companions from his mission. He was having a great time visiting with old friends. It was a very nice service and also had some humorous moments when 98 year old Florence Jacobsen said her remarks. There was a younger woman that helped her stand and go towards the pulpit. When she got there she said that her friend stepped on her skirt and pulled it off but she was able to get it up again. Something about the way she said that was very funny. Here are some photos of the events.
He is having a wonderful time with his old comps from the mission, about 40- years or so ago...I shouldn't give away any ages, right?

The youngest grandson, was standing here quietly rubbing the casket with his finger. It was nice to see his love for his grandmother.

The luncheon was here at the Salt Lake Country Club.
The guests had a very nice time and the food was great.
Chieko will be missed. We have her beautiful writings to remember her lovely spirit.
