Along with a memorial for Keeshae, the service featured many words of support for her family -- especially her mother -- hailing the work she did to keep Keeshae's story alive and bring her home. "So, we celebrate you lady. For every flyer that you posted. For every newspaper article that you spoke to," Artis said during the eulogy.

And with nearly eight years not knowing now behind them, the pastor told those gathered they can now focus on seeking that closure and to look to Keeshae's mother and the Almighty for how. "We celebrate and we remember her life because she lives inside of you. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever, amen."

As for what exact information detectives said they got to allow Friday's service to happen, police said they hold a news conference to go into more details in the future.
