'A Beautiful Moment for Us': Janelle Brown Reflects on Nevada National Guard Ceremony Honoring Son Garrison

Janelle Brown is reflecting on a "beautiful moment" while grieving the death of her son Garrison Brown.

On Saturday, the Sister Wives star, 54, shared a carousel of photos on Instagram from the Nevada National Guard's ceremony honoring Garrison following his death by suicide on March 5. The ceremony was held on Sunday at the Clark County Armory in Las Vegas.

The carousel also included images of soldiers standing beside an image of Garrison and a lone pair of boots.

"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," Janelle wrote in her caption.

"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," she continued. "Garrison was honored by family members and by his National Guard Unit last Saturday at a celebration of life ceremony. He would have loved it."

"I am sharing some of the photos. Many you have already seen a lot of these online, often with snarky comments accompanying them. But this was a beautiful moment for us," Janelle concluded.
