Not sure what to say?

Dear Margo, Kirsten, and Gilly and families, We send our condolences to you all at this time. We have fond memories of fishing and camping with you -- those were great times. And you were the best of neighbors. We have been thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. PLEASE STOP if you ever get back to Beulah. Love, Harry and Toni Hoff, and Janie and Nate Hotz and children.

Dear Margo And Family,
Skip was a very Dear Friend to me at Kniferiver and my deepest sympathies go out to you and the family. I do feel better now knowing that he is in a better place.
I will never forget his Norweign Hard hat that he was always so proud to sport.
Well Wishes,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

Condolences to the Skip Borstad Family.
Skip and I attended the same one room country school on the plains of North Dakota in the mid 1950s. I am sorry for your loss and for mine of not meeting him as an adult.

Margo, and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss, Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Margo, Kirsten, and Gilly
I am so sorry and sad to hear about Skip. I have so many fond memories of him and spending time at your house. My prayers go out to you all.

Margo and family,
My sincere heartfelt sympathies to you. Skip was always a pleasure to work with in the good old "coal" days in Beulah and Bismarck. One of the things I will always remember is Skip's norsk viking horns and the stories and joking that all went with it. He was always very good to me and very well respected. He treasured his family and was extremely proud of each of you. What a wonderful man the world will sorely miss, but his pain is now healed. Take Care!!
