Dear Smoke Signals,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Grand Ronde Tribe for all
the burial fund benefits.
They really helped out at a painful time. If it was not for the burial fund we
could have suffered a financial burden along with the loss of our family member.
We are truly thankful to the Tribe for this fund they have established. We are
all grateful.
Thank you,
Tribal members Ton! Moore, Misty Haralson and family
