  7. Praying for the family sorry for your loss. We really enjoyed coming to Pierre and visiting with your mom each year. Her educating us on our family tree. She was a fountain of knowledge. All the work she did putting together all the family tree. She sure helped me fill in some of the blanks. I just wished we would have more time. She will be surely missed.

    A wonderful friend to our family. She was so talented and shared it in so many ways. She made the sweetest baby gifts for our daughter’s birth; wrote very precious poems written in her beautiful calligraphy; shared family history and gave a book to Potter County of historical importance. And so much more! Sympathies to her family and friends.

  12. Dear Boke Family, you are in our thoughts and prayers, at this very difficult time. Mom and I remember Gail, enjoying Talisa’s baby shower. She was laughing and visiting, with all of us and was having a great time. We are so thankful, to have that great memory of Gail. Keep your memories close, as they will brighten your days, now and then. With deepest sympathy, Starla, Dennis and Sonja.
