On Thursday, June 17, Jordan and Elma's family began meeting at their final resting place, Larkin Cemetery in Sandy, Utah. They came from coast to coast and from north to south to honor JJ & Elma and their son, Grant Ray Jensen.
Grant's children honored the wishes of their father to be cremated. It was decided that part of his ashes be placed on the grave site of his parents. The family gathered to participate and remember all three on a beautiful summer day in the shadows of the Wasatch Mountains.
