Romney to organize Christmas in Viet Nam for the servicemen and women from
Michigan serving overseas. He went on to become Governor Romney's campaign
manager, and continued the tradition of community service throughout his life.
In 1978 he organized and led the successful effort to amend the Michigan
Constitution to limit the taxing and spending authority of government. This
amendment is popularly known as the 'Headlee Amendment'. Dick ran for the
office of Governor in 1982, and according to his own words, 'came dangerously
close to winning'. In 1992 he led another successful campaign to amend the
Michigan Constitution, this time enacting term limits for elected officials.

varied callings extended to him. His service in the church included serving

and three years as a Regional Representative. His dedication and devotion to
the Lord touched many lives. In addition, he was actively involved with a
number of charitable endeavors throughout the world, including work with
Project Concern International and Mothers Without Borders. He provided the
leadership and motivation for his family to serve children in projects
throughout the world. His life set an example that one person can make a
difference. Dick received a heart transplant in 1987. He was an active
proponent of the organ donor program and started The Angels of Last Resort

Jensen, Perris S.
Perris S. Jensen 1902 ~ 2004  Heaven reclaimed our precious father, Perris S.
Jensen. He died peacefully at home on Saturday November 6th, 2004. Perris was
born at Heber City, Utah on February 5, 1902 to goodly parents. His father,
James C. Jensen was serving a missionary call for the LDS Church, a mission
which lasted for 23 years. His mother was Ward or Stake Relief Society
President during all of the years that Perris was growing up. Perris was a
member of the first Boy Scout troop in Wasatch County. Eventually he became an
Eagle Scout. During World War I he sold Liberty Bonds under a nation-wide
program called "Every Scout to Save a Soldier." For this, after the war, he
was awarded, by the U.S. Treasury Dept. a medal and a banner which he
treasured all his life and displayed on special occasions. Perris was active
in the LDS Church. He served in some capacity almost continually for 85 years,
starting at being called as the Secretary of his Deacons quorum up until the
time he was temporarily blinded, caused by an attack of shingles which
disabled him at age 96. His service included secretary of his priesthood
quorums, member of MIA and Sunday School Stake Boards, Scoutmaster, two full
time missions, one in Holland and one in Great Britain, High Priest Group
Leader, Bishop's  Counselor and Stake High Counselor; but he was primarily a
teacher, in the MIA. in his High Priest Quorum and in the Sunday School where
he taught the Gospel Doctrine class for 26 years. When he was 75 years old he
was called as Stake Leader of the Name Extraction Program. He and his crew of
up to 42 faithful workers extracted and submitted to Church Headquarters for
temple work, over two million names. He continued in this program until
crippled by the shingles. Perris dropped out of High School, he supposed for a
year, to get out of debt. He didn't get back to school for over sixty years.
He completed his correspondence law course, passed the bar examination and
practiced law for over 60 years. On Dec. 31, 1941, 24 days after the attack on
Pearl Harbor, Perris was "drafted" by the U.S. Army and  served as a civilian
with the U.S. Division Engineers. After the war  he resumed his legal
practice, but limited his practice to Real Estate, Probate, Wills and Trusts.
He taught classes at the Extension Division of both the University of Utah and
at Westminster College in Real  Estate Law. Finally, at age 77 he decided it
was time to become educated. He applied at BYU for registration as a freshman.
The registrar asked him why at his age he wanted to enter a university. Perris
responded with two reasons: first, could he still do it and keep up with the
"kids", and second, whatever he learned he planned to take with him into the
hereafter. He was admitted, and four years later received his Bachelors Degree
in Independent Studies and graduated as valedictorian of his class. Several
months after his return from his mission to Holland, Perris married Gwen
Williams, a daughter of David J. Williams and Martha Ann John Williams. The
ceremony was performed in the Salt Lake Temple by Elder Orson F. Whitney of
the Council of the Twelve.  To them were born six children, Homer (Shirley),
Wendell, (Maurine), Neil (Martha), Bruce (Diane), Arlene (Wife of Gary C.
Curtis) and Marilyn(wife of John  B. Dougall.) Homer died June 15, 1970. The
others survive. To these six children were born 37 grandchildren; 36 of whom
still survive, 127 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.
Perris was honored to carry the Olympic torch on his 100th birthday. Funeral
services will be held in The Willow Creek 6th ward Chapel. 2115 E Sublette
Place (8435 South), Sandy Utah on Saturday, November 13th 2004 at 11:00 a.m.

job at the Allied Development Army & Navy Store in Murray, 40 years to the
day. This is where Marie earned the title of "Mrs. Allied." No matter where
she went, someone would always walk up and say "I know you!" Her smile and
loving spirit touched the hearts and lives of many. For 27 years, Marie would
care for her elderly parents before going to work at her job. She was loved
and respected by all who knew her. Since her retirement she loved to cook and
