Hugh, Nellie & Family,
I am so saddened by your loss, and want to offer you my condolences. …I’ve known Evelene since we were kids on the Powder River and spent a week with her at Lone Pine…in fact we wrote to each other when we were kids..& remember your Dad when he and Clarence worked for Gays. Ran into them several times in Broadus after I moved back to Miles City then Glasgow. You’ve all been in my thoughts these last couple of months.
Carol Wingate says
Hugh and Nellie,
Friendship never remain stonger than when we have to share such sadness.
We know there is no more pain for Evelene and George, but our hearts are still heavy.
I think of all of you and fun times often.
God must have been short handed up there in the ranch lands, because he has called home several good ones recently.
Take Care
