Six-year-old Raelynn Nast always wanted everyone to meet her father, Davey, who died at 41. And that included Emily Beineman, who was jogging past the funeral home during his visitation. After Emily heard a small voice asking if she could pet her dog, Blue, Raelynn explained her father was lying inside and asked if she wanted to see him. Emily wasn't dressed for a funeral but she knew it would be the last time Raelynn could introduce her dad to someone. The pair looked like old friends, says Raelynn's mother, and they plan to stay that way.
