Dearest Suzanne and all of the family;
Today is my birthday and I feel that my biggest gift today was and is to be able to say that Portia was and is my Goddaughter. I am forever grateful for the beautiful fabric which comprises the amazing tapestry which is this life, an extension of which is Portia and Suzanne and all of the family forever connecting all of us with love. I am grateful for this, and I thank the Lord for Portia and I send my love to Suzanne and all of the family and all of us and the friends who love Portia. We are a lucky bunch, so much better are we for having known Portia; a true beacon of that love! Bless You all the family , and thank you for enveloping us with your love and compassion., Love, Nikoletta

My sister, Alisha, was a good high school friend of Portia. I remember spending time with her and I am so very sorry for her passing. Even though many years have passed, I remember her vibrancy and contagious smile. Please accept my condolences on your loss.

Sissy,
we had our whole lives planned together. we were going to " Grow old Ladies together, single and alone", But always together.
Our First communion together, getting caught stealing a bag of marbles together when we were 6. Then later in life, living together and with that, every night became a paty, but only because we were together. Remember we would say " Man! It would be so much eaiser if you were a man. We only need eachother" You knew things about me i've never said outloud, and so did I. I will never know anyone who can ever take your place. A 27 year friend/sister doesnt just happen. God Blessed me with you when i was 3, and I thank him everyday eventhough you are gone. you have taught me how to be a woman, friend, sister and most of all, how to love.I will be forever gratful to you. without knowing, you were my right hand as I was your left.
Sis, Im lost without you. Who's gonna dress me? do my makeup, hair... or tell me i cant go out of the house looking like that.??
I could go on forever. I really could. my life has you forever engranded in it.I just now need to live without my best sister friend
my love to the Soularie and Case families.
I feel your tears!!!!

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Portia was a good friend of mine in high school and we always had so much fun together. She was a very beautiful girl inside and out. Try to smile when you are able, Portia always had such a beautiful smile. My thoughts are with you in these times.

Dearest Suzanne, Bob and family,
You have our condolences and deepest sympathy in the too early passing of your dear Portia. Could not believe it when read her obit in Friday paper and was glad to get to the rosary to pay respect and be able to embrace you both. I go back to Billings with both of you and have a very fond place in my heart for you. Suzanne, I just was strolling thru my rolodex last week and came on your name and wanted to call you but not sure if the number was correct still since it has been a long time since we have talked. Then here a couple days later is this obituary on your dear daughter. Sorry we could not make it to the funeral on Saturday, but had previous plans that we could not change. So glad I got to see you all on Friday though. Sure hope we can speak soon and feel free to call me at anytime. Again, you have our prayers and warm thoughts during this difficult time. I lost my sister a few years ago to cancer, so I know how hard it is to lose a family member. May God Bless You REAL GOOD! (from Msgr. Zarek/ St. Patrick's Church Billings, MT R.I.P)
Love, Mark and Jessie Bekken

Wii try again to tell you how sorry I am---I'm beyond sorry! My heart aches for you all, and I am just devastated that you are going through this. Leah sends her love. I let Eric, Brent and Kay know. Phone when you are able. You have all been in my thoughts and prayers since your mom called last week. God bless you all. I wish I had some magic words to take your pain away! Love, Carol

Sue: I don't have words to express my sorrow for you and your family---I'm devestated for you. Wish I had some words for you to make all your hurt go away. Portia and Gene and your mom all came to dad's funeral and I appreciated it so much. Your mom has my phone number. If you call, we can also talk by e-mail. Let my siblings know. Leah was in tears for you and Pearl! May God bless all of you now and in the days to come. My heart aches. Love, Carol

My heart is heavy for your entire family upon reading of Portia's passing. Our daughter, Abby, attended 8th grade, at St. John Vianney with Portia. They were the only 2 girls in their class. Portia and Abby spent lots of time together, bouncing from our house to Portia's. We always enjoyed having her in our home. Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers.
