Oh, man, I’m so sorry I wasn’t there with you in the end. As you know, I don’t always hear the latest news (who’s sick, who’s in the hospital, etc…) but every time we would talk, it was like “old times” when we grew up in Lame Deer.
Glad you are no longer in pain as the last time I saw you a few months ago. You are in a beautiful place, and at peace now. ☀️

Lana Robinson & family. says
Condolences to Hub, Ted and the rest of the family. She was the sweetest aunt/friend. She had love for everyone, she will be missed but what a joy it is for her to be greeted in heaven by Jesus, her son and her loved ones that have gone before her. To be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. She’s no longer in pain but with Jesus..
Chandelle Macdonald says
