To our Tribal Family,
Thank you for your support of our family in the passing of Harold R.
Good. Your gift of funeral expense money and funeral luncheon money
were greatly appreciated. The beautiful table centerpiece from Tribal
Council and staff was lovely and it touched our hearts.
We are very grateful for our Tribal family's help and caring in this time
of distress and grief. Everyone we spoke to on the phone was professional,
respectful and helpful in the enrollment office and in the insurance office.
Just to know our Tribal family is with us makes the way easier. Thank
you! ;
Tribal members,
Delores I. Good, Nancy J. Hughey, Barbara J. Hughey,
Leroy R. Good, Rosemary Jameson
