The family of Alan “Big Mo” Johnson would like to invite all family and friends to his Memorial on April 28th at 11:00 a.m. to be held at the Buffalo Lake District Center. Come and enjoy a meal and give away in his honor! Please bring lawn chairs; in case of lack of room indoors, there will be shade provided outside.

The family of Francis Crawford would like to thank the community for all of the kindness shown to us during this time. We would especially like to thank Rev. Bighorn and Rev. Donnell for their words of support and encouragement. Thank you to Clyde Kampeska, Mary Beth Kirk, and Kay Bursheim for the beautiful music they shared with us at the service. The songs were moving and inspirational. Thank you to the SWO Housing and especially Nina for sharing your talents with the biscuits and other food you prepared for us. Not only are you a co-worker but also a friend to our family. Thank you to the Buffalo Lake Community members who took time out of their busy lives to spend time comforting our family. Your presence at the services did not go unnoticed. Thank you to the pallbearers for helping us in our time of need. We also want to thank the 41 grandchildren of Francis who were instrumental in preparing and attending to the needs of all who were at the services. We were so thankful to all who came to the services, gave food or said a kind word. We will never be able to repay your kindness. Thank you just does not seem like it is enough at a time like this. -- Lloyd and Carole Crawford
