   Posted Sat April 02, 2016
My condolences go out to all of Lonna’s family and to Butch Harget for this sudden loss of an amazing woman, who was also my niece.

Although Lonna is my niece, we were only a few years apart so she was like a younger sister to me when we were growing up. As we grew older, we grew apart, but when I happened to see her or talk to her on the phone, she always made me smile and we shared a lot of laughs together. I love the way she laughed. It was contagious!

I know that Lonna experienced some tough times in her life, but she seemed to be able to come through those tough times with a smile.

I pray that Lonna’s family and friends find comfort in remembering the good times they had with Lonna and by knowing she is in a much better place – a place where we will all meet again someday.

With love,

Mike Brown & Family
Great Falls, Montana
