Condolences

  • 01/03/2025

    To the family of Janet, I am so sorry for your loss. I would stop at Black Hawk and then in Rapid City when I would travel to Casper to visit my Uncle. They were always so willing to open their door for me. Clyde was my husband, Kevin's, Uncle and we so appreciated their kindness, wit, and hospitality. When they traveled East River we would always get a chance to visit with them and we were even lucky enough to have them spend a couple nights at our farm. Sitting on the deck and enjoying each other's company was the best! Inez, you were a God send. Janet so appreciated your company and just being there. She had a deep faith, a great smile and a caring heart. She will be deeply missed. May you find strength in others. We will miss you Janet! Love Kevin and Luanne Thompson
