A graveside service will be held on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 at 1 p.m. at the Santa Clara Cemetery, 1950 Ancestor Way, Santa Clara, Utah.

Connie asked Ken to give the prayer at the graveside service.  He was buried in the Santa Clara cemetery.  The day was Very windy and cold.  They had intended to have people share memories up there, but it was just too windy.  So, we all went back to the church and had a lovely memory sharing before the family partook of the luncheon that the ward provided.  

This is Ken sharing his fond memories of his friend, Steve.
