    It has taken me a few days to figure out what to say that might bring you some comfort. I know that there probably aren’t any words to express what you’re going through and how sorry I am that you’re going through this. I hope though- that every time you look in the mirror or see a picture of yourself, you see your Mom’s smile. I hope that every time you see a horse grazing in a field, you see the same beauty that she would have admired. I hope that every time you sit in front of a bon fire you can look back on all of the times you shared together. I hope that you can feel her all around you, and know comfort.

    So sorry to hear that Renee passed. She checked in often since leaving Colfax. We enjoyed visiting her campfires and her yelling at Duane while he was working that she’d cook him a weiner. We have good memories of her.

    I was saddened to hear about Linda’s passing. I was able to meet and get to know Linda through a professional contact and all my interactions with her were positive. I found her to be a very caring and pleasant person. I extend my condolences to Linda’s 2 daughters and the rest of her family.

    I hated to hear this. Heaven has gained a fun soul. We have lost a very compassionate caring lady with enough courage to say what she thought. She will be truly missed.
