A lot of people braved the elements to attend the funeral service of Jasmyn Knippling on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, in the Wessington Springs gymnasium. The popular girl with a seemingly endless supply of friends and loved ones died in a car crash early Friday morning. We don’t normally cover funerals, and we still don’t. But for those of you who were unable to attend, or are interested and care about the family, we have posted these pictures. We tried out best not to interfere with the family’s privacy during the trying time, but as of this writing more than 450 people have visited this website to read about Jasmyn. My mother is a resident at the Weskota Manor nursing home, where Jasmyn worked part time. “The last thing Jasmyn said to me as she left my room, was “I love you Mary.”…My mother said, ending with “I loved her, too.” –Text by Craig, Photos by Duke
