I am so sorry the hear of John’s death. I lost track of you both after Harley’s death. I will never forget the great times we had at your house on Cottonwood. I loved your Mom and Dad. Mother is 96 and still living in Bozeman. Jim and I are in Billings. Mother and I would both love to hear from you. Please call me in Billings at 406-245-2240. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Love, Terry Epler

Our parents arn’t with any more but they are in our hearts forever…Love you all Dorothy
