An Angel she was...our friendship spanned more than 40 years and what a blessing Montana was in my life, as well as in so many other lives she touched. God Bless you!

For more than 40 years I was blessed with the friendship of Montana, both in Seattle and Mt. Vernon. Her wit, joke telling, and delightful stories were her trademark characteristics, but her heart of love and giving were what she was all about. My life has been richer because of the friendship we shared. She is now an angel like the ones she so passionately gave to others for decades.

A friend for more than 43 years, Montana and I shared the joys and sorrows of life, including Eddie's passing IN 1968. We have laughed and cried together and truly enjoyed our times with one another. Montana's signature was her sense of humor and the ability to tell stories and jokes. And she was a fine poker player!! Her service on April 13 was a superb tribute to a one-of-a-kind person that God placed on this earth to help others. And she did an exceptional job of caring for and assisting a variety of people over the years. She will be missed by many, including myself.

Montana was a friend and confidant for 43 years...we shared happy times and sad times, but she always maintained that keen sense of humor. There was but one Montana and much of her personality came from her charming parents...I will truly miss my friend - we shared life together and enjoyed every moment of it (even the poker!)...you were a single mold from God!!

I will miss her kind smileing face, she always brought cheer with her. I always enjoyed seeing her when she came to the business I work at. Everytime I see one of those little York peppermint patties I think of her. God bless you Montana!
