I am sorry about your loss of Pat. She was a School Friend of my Wife Marilyn at Dutton. We had many many good times with Pat and Ken and will miss her very much. Pat and Ken used to attend the Lutefisk Dinners at Dutton and Marilyn and i always planned to meet there for a meal and visit and at Helena when we passed thru to and from Bozeman. My Prayers go to you Ken and Family.

Dear Ken, Jan, Jerry, Susie, Bobbo, Kristi, Pete, and families,
What an honor to have known Pat! Such a beautiful woman; so much fun to be around! She always joined in whatever was going on. I will always remember the wonderful Thanksgivings we spent at Bob & Sue’s cooking, eating, touring, drinking, and celebrating together! Some of my fondest memories! Pat will live on in all of our hearts as well as through you girls, her beautiful daughters, who all have a part of her woven into your very being. Sadly,Tony never had the privilage of meeting her, but has heard many stories and is sorry he never experienced her fun-loving ways in person. God be with you all. Our thoughts, love, and prayers are with you today and always, Joani & Tony Cartone xoxo

Grandma,
You were an amazing Woman, a loving Wife, a caring Mother and a generous Grandmother, who had touched so many lives and hearts . We all miss you like crazy but I am at peace knowing you are in a better place with our heavenly father alongside of Grandma and Grandpa Giambelluca, Aunt Corrine and Uncle Jon and out of pain. I was blessed to have such a wonderful Grandmother who raised the best Mother a daughter could ask for and for that I am grateful. We will take care of Grandpa and I know you will be watching over us and be here with us always in our hearts. I love you Grandma forever and always!
Your granddaughter,
Morgan Giambelluca
