Remembrances

Caroline and Bob and family,

We thought so much of your Mom. She was a dear lady and we loved every visit with her. We will miss her.

Connie Phelps and the Montana Telecommunications Access Program Staff

 

Dear Caroline and family: We were so sorry to hear of Lois' passing. My folks, Gil and Alta Swainson, used to square dance with Carl and Lois and she and Mom had many years of fun painting together, both oils and china. I remember they used to head towards Nye and spend the day painting beautiful scenery. Anyway, my condolences to you ... you are in our thoughts and prayers. Carol (Swainson) Tinnes
