  125. Based on the number of comments here, Brian is a legend, he lived and loved bigger than most. The outpouring of prayers and sympathy shows how closely the Wacker families are held by their Montana community and by every person they have ever touched. We add our prayers and sympathy.

  126. Diane, Gary, Mildred & Wacker Families, Greta & Girls…So very sad and heartbreaking for your family! May God hold you all close until you meet again. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!
