Dear family of Mrs. Stacia Dawn Gaab, please know that you are not alone for the Bible tells us that “God is near to those that are broken at heart; And those who are crushed in spirit he saves ” (Psalms 34:18). Take heart in the Scriptures for comfort. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

I am so sad to here of Stacias passing, I grew up in the East Helena area and have known stacia very long as she worked at Heritage Food Store we did not talk very often , she kept to herself and was not a very talkative person but she really grew on me and I am going to miss her dearly and once again I am very sorry to her of her passing. She has a special place in my heart.

I was saddened to learn my favorite checkout gal at the grocery store was sick and even sadder to learn just yesterday that she will never return. She was certainly a kind soul who cheered our days. Sympathies and prayers for your family.
