This is a video of a family designed and held memorial service. It was done without the help of a minister, rabbi or cleric. Their pastor had been transferred and the new one had not arrived; so no religious official who had served their family and no facility were automatically available to help them. They rented the use of the largest church building in the community and designed the service themselves. Using the elements that seemed most natural to them and asking people important to their 13-year-old to speak, allowed them to create a unique service. The nightly local news reported that over 700 people attended service. Chairs and speakers in the parking lot accommodated the overflowing crowd. The memorial card given upon arrival at the service included the words to the songs, this enabled all in attendance to participate in the service.

A reception was held and the TV evening news mentioned over 350 guests were welcomed and fed lunch at the Davies farm with the help of many community members.
