Wednesday, June 9th

This morning was Tony's funeral service. Aaron gave the family prayer after the closing of the casket. 8766 gave the opening prayer, Daniel gave the eulogy, Marlene shared a few words (she was Tony's closet cousin...they were great friends), Elizabeth also shared her thoughts, as well as David. Some of Eve's siblings and her mother sang Lead Kindly Light. It was very touching. Tony and Eve's bishop then shared a wonderful message about love and the gospel of Jesus Christ. There was a wonderful feeling in the chapel. I have been to enough funerals to know that I don't like going because all I do is cry. This funeral was different, maybe because I had no more tears left to cry... or maybe because Tony was so young and such a close relation.
Tony was in the Army reserve so Taps was played at the end of his funeral. It was very beautiful.

After the funeral Eve gave a hug to every person that left the church building, you could see the love and support that everyone has for her and her family.


We traveled to the cemetery and John dedicated the burial sight. The family gathered round the grave and we watched as they lowered Tony's body into the ground.
