A week ago from last Thursday, on April 8th, President Monson visited one of his “golden” friends of over 60 years, Thelma Wooley Fetzer, to celebrate her 100th birthday, as reported in the Church News.
Sister Fetzer’s husband, Percy K. Fetzer (who passed away in 1982), was a stake president in Salt Lake City’s Temple View Stake long ago, and called President Monson to be one of his counselors.
“Since I was his counselor and friend, I’ll say for Percy, ‘Happy birthday, sweetheart.’ ” President Monson then placed a kiss on Sister Fetzer’s forehead.
