I just heard about the loss of your daughter, Brean. Doc and I were really good friends, classmates and rode the same bus for twelve years at Forestburg School. I cannot imagine the loss you are enduring......and it is hard to come up with "wise and comforting" words. Please know myself and my children who also know the Olsons, are grieving for all of you and sending prayers, prayers, prayers-
smile, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. I am thankful I had a great conversation when I saw her last. She told me she was heading west to show her friend the Black Hills and Denver. She said she was putting the "pedal to metal" told her the HP's out by Rapid liked to get their Quota by LOVES, she just laughed at me and said she'd be on the lookout. She was a breath of fresh air whenever you saw her She will be missed by many and loved by all. Sending Hugs and prayers to you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you! Hugs!ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ™
