Dog admitted he still could not believe Beth was "never coming home" and a whole year had passed since her death.
He exclusively told The Sun: "I brought Francie along and I brought my sister Michelle and I'm not sure I could have done this alone without Francie.
"I can't believe it's been a whole year and she's never coming home.
"So we have to do the memorial and not be too over-sad and then we'll watch the next generation go down the South Platte River."
Dog also spoke about how his large family had become closer as they help each other through the grieving process.
"So how the family has got through this is joining and staying more together," he said.
"If I don't call one of them and they don't call me they think I've abandoned them.
"So it has brought our family closer together.
