Thompson Family,
I want to let you all know how wonderful your wife/mother was. I loved her dearly and have very dear memories of her. She was a wonderful lady to work for/with. She was very kind, thoughtful, and funny. It was obvious how much she was loved and respected in the community based on how busy we were at the Outpost with people just stopping in to visit. She had a way to make you feel special and she loved you all dearly! I will miss her dearly.
