Grandpa's 'Apo

On Friday night, we had Grandpa's 'Apo (his wake). It is estimated that over a thousand people came to pay respects. Each left with a plate of food that the family had spent hours cooking (see last post).

Grandpa's place of rest was the most beautiful I have ever seen. The Salt Lake City temple along with the Rocky mountains were painted beautifully on the outside and photos of him and Grandma were framed inside...

It was quite an emotional experience for us to see him. We are still in mourning.


This is the only photo we have of us at the 'Apo. It was taken with a long time friend of ours, Richard Wolfgram. Richard also provided many of the funeral, 'apo, and burial photos used in this blog. Kia Ora Richard.
