My condolences to you and your families. She was a very nice lady and very helpful when I needed pictures of you in your younger days.

Gaylene:
I saw your Mother’s obituary in the Broadus paper and wanted to send you a note expressing my sympathy to you and your family. I had heard at the reunion two summers ago in Broadus that you are living in Townsend. We are in Kalispell and have been for 37 years. Where have the years gone? We have Dad with us here and Mom has been gone for almost two years. So I know how hard all of this is. Just wanted you to know I am thinking about you. Drop me a note if you have a few minutes.
