Senior missionaries can opt to go home 30 days earlier or 30 days later than their original release date. Because Christmas was coming up, Elder and Sister Hawley, the England London Mission Office Couple, chose the 30 days early option; to go home to Orem, Utah on 7 December, instead of in January. Portia especially wanted to hold a grandchild that had been born while she and Don were serving in London. 29 December, 22 days after they had returned to Orem, held their grandchildren, and enjoyed Christmas, almost in a "twinkling of an eye", Portia passed away.
