Dylan Groene Laid To Rest

On what would have been his tenth birthday, Dylan Groene was buried with family and friends in attendance. Dylan's remains were found earlier this month in Montana. Dylan and his sister Shasta were apparently abducted by after their mother, brother and mother's boyfriend were murdered in their home.

Joseph Duncan has been charged with six counts of kidnapping and murder of the mother, brother and mother's boyfriend, and will be charged with the abduction of Shasta and Dylan and in Dylan's death.

After the services, attended by more than 700 people, hundreds of red and blue balloons were released into the air adding spots of color to an overcast sky. Paster Jim Putnam noted during the service that God is throwing a better party for Dylan than any of us could imagine.

Amen.
