Smoke Signals
On June 7, our RV caught on fire.
We had planned to live in it for the
summer while we looked for a per
manent place in the Grand Ronde
area. Our motorhome caught on fire
while driving back from Salem.
Luckily, the gas tanks never ignited.
However, the motorhome and all its
contents were damaged or destroyed.
The cause of the fire has not yet been
determined.
The consideration and support
given by so many people has been
wonderful. A special thanks to the
Dallas Fire Department and Inci
dent Response Team for their speedy
arrival, and to Officer Von Meter of
McMinnville, thank you for going
the extra mile for us. "Hats off to
these servants of public safety! If
we ever have another incident,
please let it be in your area.
To the road people who stopped and
offered cell phones, fire extinguish
ers, and advice, thank you for show
ing us the kindness of humanity.

A HAtb from cUudettb Parazoo
Her family and dearest friends comforted each other as Mother's selected
songs were sung. The eulogy was from Mother's grandchildren who expressed
their love and admiration of their grandmother, who had touched each of
their lives in special ways. Mother's nephew, Ed Clark, sang a Sioux Honor
Song as the casket was sealed. My youngest son, Frank Summers, sang the
final Sioux Honor Song as the casket was lowered into her grave.
There was a memorial dinner and gathering following the services. My
daughter, Kristy Summers, had the lead for the services. My niece, Rena
Alvarodo, had the lead for the dinner.
Mother was very active in the Klamath Tribe Elder Program and we chose
them to receive memorial donations. She so looked forward to each visit with
the Klamath Tribal Seniors and to the many trips they took over the years.
With Mother's death, I am now the Elder of our family. It is a responsibility
I accept with honor and respect for all our departed loved ones.
My daughter, 4 sons, 7 grandsons, and granddaughter are my descendants.
Happy it Birthday
