The funeral for Joey Eldon Mortensen was held today.
This man was loved and respected among many people!
What an inspiring funeral to attend!
This man will truly be missed by all who knew him!
I caught this tender moment of Vanessa
as we all sang Families Can Be Together Forever.
I'm grateful for the knowledge that I have that I will be
reunited with those who have gone on from this world...
it's such a comforting feeling.
