The many floral offerings were beautiful and there was a large number of gifts to the missions given in his memory by the family, other relatives and friends, an the Palestine Luther league.

The Riis quartette sang two selections "The Old Rugged Cross," and "Beautiful Garden of Prayer." Walter Christopher sang a solo "Does Jesus Care?"
