My first memory with Grandma……Her handing me fresh peas from her garden.
My best memories with Grandma…..Racing to her house early every morning for breakfast.
My most important memories with Grandma….Her tuning me into what the Bible teaches us all.
You gave me more than most would know.
Thank You Grandma,
We Love You – Hoping to see you again soon.
Love Lance (Leah, Julia and Emily) Kolstad

Your mother and I have been friends for 62 years. We met at the Assembly Church. Many good years, prayers, tears, and laughter. Great friends. Last several times we spoke we would end by saying, “If we don’t see each other here we will see you in heaven” She got there first. I will miss her but now no more sugar comparisons and hearing and seeing. Great friend. She had some great kids it was fun taking care of all of you. You are special to me and we’re to her too. Love and Prayers

Your mother was a great inspiration to me and growing in my faith. I always told her she was my mentor and best friend. Her and Pappa Al hold many happy memories for the Walker family. I remember while we lived in Fort Peck I tried to walk or drive to their home several times a week. It has been 20 years since we seen one another and just this passing week her memories came to me. What i thought were out of no where I truly think there was a connection. We will meet again to laugh and share our praise of our Lord and Savior. Love and Prayers to all of you.
