Orson William and Shirley Elma Rhoades Lauritzen were two of the finest people I've ever known. They raised a family of 11 children, never wavering in their valiant testimony of Jesus Christ.

They raised all of their 11 children to adulthood. Bill, in the black/white photo, died at the age of 19. In this picture, you will see: (front) Bill, Charm, Shirley, Orson, Gay, Harmony (back) Christopher, Kerry, Joy, Kelly, Content, David, Steven.
