Our family has established a tradition of missionary service.  The following presentation graphically portrays this tradition beginning with Jens Edward Rasmussen and Orville Welton Ward and ending with Tanner Pratt. 

One of our direct line ancestors, Nancy Allen,  was featured in the “Faith of Our Fathers” segment.  We have been blessed with a rich heritage of faithful Latter-day Saints.

I enlisted the skills of various family members to put together video tributes to Ralph & Mary Ellen (our parents) and their six children.  Cassie Rasmussen produced the video on Ralph; Adam Murray on Greg; Nathan Schmoe on Nancy Ellen; Andrew Garlock on Ed; Chase Rasmussen on Ward; and Mark Helms on Mary Jane.  The video tribute to Ralph & Mary Ellen is based largely on the life sketch presented by Nancy Ellen at Mary Ellen’s funeral.  The “Love Song” at the end was performed by Greg at Ralph & Mary Ellen’s 50th wedding anniversary.
