I want to convey our condolences to Gerald and Marcia Ann and their families. Mrs. Gillet was like a second mom to me when I was growing up in Riverton. She was a wonderful person who was willing to share her love and kindness with so many. She will always hold a special place in my heart for all she did for me. She was a very special person on an earth that has so few.

Mike and Marcia. We are sorry to hear of the passing of your mother Marcia. Even as sick as she was, it is hard to lose a parent. Please know that we are thinking of you. Your mother was a great lady! We will never forget her hospitality as we sat with your family to watch the Riverton Town Days Parade in front of her old house. She made us feel like family.

Aunt Margaret will always be in my heart. She was always welcomed anyone with open arms. Willing to help with anything she could. One of my memories of her was at Grandma's at the LARGE kitchen, jarring the numberous vegatables or jams.
Everytime I would see at Margaret, she would remind me of Grandma's twinkle in her eyes.
You will be a missed family member but know you are with our heavenly father's kingdom.

Margaret, thank you for the fun times at your beautiful home. You and Warren were always welcoming, showing our family tons of kindness. July was the best because we had front row seats at all the parades that marched down redwood road. The kids loved it. Your dishes were the best! I thought it was great and absolutely loved being in your home. We miss and love you very much.
