I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. May it help to know that others are supporting you in prayer for peace and comfort.
Richard and Linda Desch says
It was a pleasure to know and love Ole these past 30 years since we came to Wolf Point. Linda especially liked Ole’s peach pie and would request it for many church harvest festivals. Our sympathies to the family and sorry that we can not be there as we will be out of town for a dental appointment.
Roger and Carla Hunsley says
