OUR THOUGHTS & PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.

To the family and friends of Vesta,

My family and I had the pleasure of meeting Vesta a little over a year ago when our son, Eric, married Megan Ahlquist. Even though attending the wedding and festivities required a tiring cross-country trip, Vesta wouldn't miss the celebration. Her family and their happiness was indeed a primary focus for her. Since my mother, Gladys now 94, was unable to travel to the wedding, Vesta and the family undertook an additional car trip to our home...

At this very sad time, my deepest symphathy is sent to all of Vesta's family; God Bless you. While I did not know her well, she is the grandmother of my daughter-in-law (Amy Horner) and she graciously welcomed my son (Terry) into her family. Terry's brother Brian fondly recalls a week long visit to Billings with Ty, where he enjoyed her hospitality. I visited with her on several occasions and enjoyed those times. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. /Sue Presta

It's strange, after so many years, what one remembers at the time a loved one makes their passing. What I remember most about my Aunt Vesta was her getting up early in the morning and making real homemade from scratch donuts for breakfast, putting them each one-by-one in a deep fat fryer; and her taking me for my first ride on a city bus having journeyed as a child from Sidney to Billings. That was SO much fun. Thank You God for the personage of Vesta, for all lessons learned, all wonders...
