Bob and Cindy,
I am sooooo sorry for the loss of your Mom! I know she will be deeply missed. She was such a special lady. I am so fortunate that she was my Aunt.
She was so full of life the last time I saw her. I will never forget her soft chuckle, the impish spark in her eye and her wonderful smile. A beautiful woman through and through. I know she is now where she has wanted to be for some time. She is in Heaven with her savior and all of her loved ones who have gone before her. She is rejoicing now there like she was never able to rejoice here on earth.
Congratulations Aunt Mabel, you are finally home. We will miss you but knowing you are in Heaven and blissfully eternally happy is a comfort.
Tara Popp says
So sorry to hear of the news of Mabel’s passing. It was a pleasure to get to know her and Bob while working at Big Sky. She was a fantastic lady, and brought a smile to my face everyday I was there. May she rest in peace. Prayers to all the family and friends.

Cindy and Bob,
Mary and I were saddened to hear of Aunt Mable’s passing. She was a “ray of sunshine” to be around. We will miss her, but are comforted by knowing she is now with her loved ones.
Ann Nickel says
Cindy, too many years have gone by since we last were in touch with each other. I am glad I had the pleasure to meet your mom. You and your family is in my prayers.

I got to know Mable and Jim when they moved next door on Flowerree in Helena. Great people and a great family…. fun from beginning to end and always supporting us and giving a hand. We enjoyed visiting with them over the years with Mable giving our boys cookies and Halloween treats and Jim helping me dig fence posts and letting me borrow his canoe to take Tracey for a duck hunt on Lake Helena. Cindy, Bob and Tanya: you had the world’s best mom. She was lovely inside and out. I miss seeing them around on walks and being the loving people they were. Then there were those Spaniels.
