    We think Bill was talking to you about coming and helping him decorate a pink bathroom up in heaven since you are such a great decorator. We will cherish all the wonderful memories we have of you both here at the lake and missed that we lost touch these past years. Curt is having a White Russian in your honor.

    I pray that the family receives comfort from The Grand Creator God’s Word : Psalms 94: 19
    “When anxieties overwhelmed me , You comforted and soothed me “.

    Gloria, You were truly instrumental in my decision to ultimately move here. When you met me at the airport one summer with a cooler full of Coors Light, I KNEW you were my kind of friend and Montana was my kind of place!!! Your personality was positive & infectious and that is why you are loved by so many. May you find PEACE in the LOVING arms of our LORD. I speak for my whole family when I say WE LOVE YOU & WILL MISS YOU!
