Aunt Alma always such a sweet disposition. She and Uncle Mel had such a loving relationship. I have fond memories of spending time with them when we lived in Helena. So glad you will be reunited with the love of your life here on earth. R.I.P. Aunt Alma.

I didn’t meet Alma until she was 93 and living at Big Sky Care Center. I was staying there recovering from a broken ankle when I found myself at a dining table with Alma. She made the two months I spent there much more bearable. Her kindness and ready smile really brightened my days. There was always laughter at that table. I’m sure other wondered what the heck was going on, but we didn’t care. I continued to visit her after I was released to return home. She always was glad to see me and I enjoyed the visits as much as I hope she did. God Bless you Alma. You are missed but Heaven just got brighter! I have a photo I thought you might like to have. I’ve uploaded it here.

I have such great memories of going to Aunt Alma and Uncle Mel’s house every week with my sister Teece. I hope our hourly visits helped them as well. I wish you a wonderful time, Auntie and am so glad you are with Uncle Mel once again. I love and will miss you always. Sleep with the saints until we once again meet.
