“It’s been hard to get my brain to work properly again. I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and support I’ve received these last three weeks. The support has been overwhelming. I am honored. So many of you shared stories of your loved ones. So many of you wrote of your thoughts and prayers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

The ceremony, hosted at the Clark County Armory, was led on Sunday, March 24. The Sister Wives star continued:

“Garrison was honored by family members and by his National Guard Unit last Sunday at a celebration of life ceremony. He would have loved it.”
