Faith and family, I am sad to hear of your loss. While I was only an acquaintance I surely enjoyed visiting with your mother at the Calendar store in the mall in Bozeman. My thoughts are with you. She was a very special lady.
Kindest regards, Lois

Will surely miss our visits and chats in Big Sky and in Naples. I had hoped we would be able to have another lunch in Jan. (Save me a seat at THE banquet table.)

I loved your mom and grandmom. I will miss her and miss playing bridge while looking out at the river or partying at the lake house. I enjoyed helping her as she tried to decide what to keep and what to get rid of...or what Molly might like...as she downsized out of her beautiful North Naples home.She loved driving us around in her golf cart ride while showing off her new community.
