No words can express how amazing yesterday was. I’ll attempt, rather poorly I’m sure, to sum it up. First and foremost, God was glorified. Cliff & April are standing on Him, their solid rock. Although there was pain and heartache we were able to rejoice and praise His name through our tears.

Friends and family circled around and helped make Elyse’s Memorial Service something so incredibly special. Nothing was forgotten, not one small detail. Here are just a few of the moments I got to capture from yesterdays events.

Psalm 139:16 (New International Version)

your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

Cliff and April have asked that in lieu of flowers please make a donation to Hume Lake Christian Camps Campership Fund.  You can send any correspondence to:
