My sister showed me the meaning of courage. Beautiful in mind, body & spirit. She is loved by my children who grew up being loved by their auntie. Her son honors her memory with a life well lived. Her husband adored her and there must be a celebration in heaven as they are together in spirit as they were on earth. Families are eternal. We miss you, dear sister.

What beautiful lady, kind and sweet. Quick to smile and quiet like our mama and a wonderful conversationalist one on one, again like our mama. When Beaver and her dressed up for a date they were a knockout! They had a deep spiritual connection in their relationship that is eternal. Lovely and sweet. Our Millie.

I have very fond memories of Millie, while caring for her at a assisted living home in Helena. May she rest in peace with her husband ❤

My grandma was one of the centers of my world. Her and Grandpa Lester were my entire world’s. She will be missed dearly everyday.

Henrietta was a dear friend when we were teenagers. She lived with our family for a while and ran away together. Crazy home lives. I wish I could have seen her before she died. My sympathies to her son and grand children.
