Dear Smoke Signals, I wanted to thank all the wonderful people that donated towards get ting Dean Mercier's riding lawn mower fixed and running for his birth day. Even with all the delays getting it repaired, I do believe it has brought Dean out of his sickness. He hasn't been off it for one day. I would like to give a special thanks to Donna Casey for all the hard work she put into inviting people. Even though the birthday notice didn't come out in the Smoke Signals until a day before the party, it was an open invitation. Many people came by just from word of mouth leaving us with standing room only. The birthday cake was wonderful Donna. Thank you to Darrell Merrier for letting Tim "Gordon" Linton use his trailer to transport the mower back and forth. Tim was so great and put a lot of time into the venture that seemed to fall apart with delays with lis tening to my frantic phone calls. God Bless you all, Christina Mercier Dear Smoke Signals, The family of Emma Sell would like to thank all our friends and rela tives for the immeasurable support you have shown for us in this difficult time of our personal loss. We would especially like to give a big thanks to Billie LaBonte, Claudia Leno and our cousins; Gene, Butch, Carol, Mark, Lenny, Walter, Jimmy B. and all the support staff. Thanks also to Jan Michael and Rex for their inspirational songs and to Louise and Kenny for their touching personal reflections. We would also like to express our gratitude to our cousins Fritz and Jean and all those who sent the beauti ful flowers and cards. The words spoken and the memories shared at our mother's funeral evoked fond memories and brought healing to our hearts. "There are stars whose radiance is visible on Earth though they have long been extinct. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world though they are no longer among the living. These lights are par ticularly bright, when the night is dark." Thank you, The Family of Emma Sell Dear Smoke Signals, A sincere and heartfelt "Thank You" to every person, every entity of the Tribe for the gifts, flowers, food, plaques, blankets, the many cards, thoughts, visits and prayers extended to us and on behalf of our beloved husband, father, brother and grandfather, Theo. H. "Ted" Darling. Your kindness will never be forgotten. The Family of Ted Darling In Addition: In the April 15 issue of Smoke Signals under "Walking On.." Carl Dee Jeffers is also survived by sister Elsie Cummings of Oregon. All Tribal offices will be closing on Friday, July 1 at 12 p.m. and closed on Monday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day. til BRENT MERRILL PUBLIC INFORMATION MANAGEREDITOR 503-879-2321 brent merr1llgrandroode.on JUSTIN PHILLIPS GRAPHIC DESIGNER 503-879-2190 justin.phllli psgrandronde.org DEAD LUTE DATE ISSPEPATE Mon.,June6 JUNE 15 Fri.,Junel7 JULY1 Tues.,JulyS JULY IS Wed., July 20 AtJG.l Fri.,Aug.5 AUG.
